My 5 yo son is having fever above 100 degrees for 7 days along with ear pain on both the ears. fever is coming in regular intervals and looks normal for 12 hours to 1 day. what kind is f viral fever will cause ear pain?

Many viruses can cause ear pain. However, with a fever for a week and ear pain, there is a high likelihood that an ear infection is present which typically needs an antibiotic to treat. The best next step is to see your child's pediatrician for an evaluation.
