It's because of eustachian tube blockage leading to acute Otitis Media. Give oral and nasal decongestants.
Otiflox ear drops can be given but not for more than 3 days

No ear drop is recommended unless ear has been checked inside. Ear itching is common with kids during cold. Take treatment for cold and cough that's it.
