Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having on and off fever with dry blood in ears due to cold there is many a times infection and inflammation in ears due to connection between the back of nose and ears via ear tubes known as Eustachian tubes. It seems to be viral infection . The infection will however resolve once the virus will complete its cycle in human body. Hopefully the symptoms will resolve within a week and if it worsen consult a pediatrician and get evaluated. Doctor may prescribe anti viral along with anti inflammatory and anti allergic .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
