What Causes Ear Infection And Fever In An Infant?

My 20 month old has been on antibiotics since 10/11 For an ear infection. We are a week in and she still has a temp of 99-100 by the end of the day. Dr has rechecked on ears on 10/17 due to her still having an increased tempurature and they look better. She said possibly she has a virus on top of the ear infection and to being back on friday if still 99-100. Took it a little while ago and it was 99.4. Dr has recommended that we do blood work and a urinalysis to see if we can find a cause. I am a little worried as she is my first child. Am I worried for nothing? Could it be viral or teething? I want to make sure she is okay but I also don t want to put her through unnecessary pain.
