Hi,
By your history it looks like you son is most probably suffering from acute otitis media, which is caused due to obstruction of eustachian tube (tube connecting nose and ear), most common cause for this is nasal allergy and infection, whenever this happenes child will have severe pain, ear drops won't help in this condition, so my advice for you is to consult an Ent specialist as soon as possible for confirming diagnosis and further management, take care.
