Time to take her in and have it checked out. The posted symptoms are not specific enough to provide a label. It could be a bug bit her ear lobe or she has an ear infection.

She may have an infection called cellulitis. Please have her examined and a course of antibiotics may be indicated. Monitor her breathing and temperature. Please see urgent care or your Pediatrician right away. Watch for signs of eye involvement and drainage.
