Worsening ear : If you ave not done so already, follow-up with your 7 month olds pediatrician so they can look at ears and listen to chest again, and adjust medications as necessary. Humidified air and saline nose drops may be helpful to improve nose and decrease cough. Check with your pediatrician.

Mgt and workup: From your description, your child may have a lower respiratory tract infection which started as an ear infection. I would suggest a visit with your physician today to discuss whether a further workup or antibiotics are needed. Pertussis is one possible infection to ask about.
