Suggest Treatment For Earache, Cough And Headache

My 8 year old daughter has been suffering from earache, plus cough and intermittent headache, for 5 days. 48 hours ago it got worse and she developed a fever too. Saw an out of hours doctor 24 hours ago who diagnosed a middle ear infection and told me to continue with the paracetamol and ibuprofen, which she has been taking regularly for 5 days. Over last 12+ hours he pain has radiated down the side of her neck, across under her jaw bone and up into her temple. The fever seems to have dropped but she is still in a huge amount of pain. History of glue ear, wore hearing aids during winters of 2011 and 2012 but not 2013 as no incidence of hearing loss. Please advise on what I should do next - the pain away from the at has never occurred before.

Middle ear infection needs treatment with Amoxycillin +clavulanate 2times daily for 5-7 days.
Continue paracetamol 15 mg/kg/dose every 4-6 hourly along with tepid sponging.
for glue (wax) ear waxsolv drops 4 drops 3-4 tomes daily locally will help to dissolve the wax.
