Ear infection: Sounds like she has an ear infection. Her pediatrician or urgent care should take a look, quite possibly she needs antibiotics by mouth and if a smell probably ear drops as well.

Fever/ear: The most likely problem is that your baby had a viral infection and her left ear became infected and a perforation has occurred with drainage. She should see her doctor for an exam and treatment for her draining ear.

Middle ear infection: Toddlers like yours are prone to ear infections, because the structures forming the middle ear are not fully developed. I suspect your child's ear drum may have ruptured, causing some of the infection trapped in that space to leak into the ear canal and cause that smell. If that's true, I expect her fever to go down. You should see a doctor though as you need to confirm this and treat your child.

Otitis: It is possible she may have an ear infection either in the middle ear or external ear. The only way to be sure is to have the child checked by their physician
