Your baby seems to be having acute otitis media which is a common type of acute Middle ear infection in children. Usually it will resolve on its own within few days with simple medications like paracetamol . Since you have not attached the photos it is difficult to confirm the diagnosis
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
