Accepted Answer

I hope you’re getting it checked with an ENT doctor not a paediatrician because an ENT doctor would have a better knowledge and they can help you with right medicines and it is of no connection having an antibiotic resulting in diarrhoea that means the medicine is not suiting so that’s a very vague logic that your doctor is going so I’m going to recommend you to consult an ENT specialist

Answer

when the child is having cold and cough for long time then the infection can reach the internal ear of the child. also during the bath when the water goes inside the external ear that can cause ear infection
