My son has an ear ache and he is 7 years old and i want to let his body take of it but his head hurts also in the frontal region what should i do?

Ear ache: Many middle ear infections are caused by a virus and do not need antibiotics. However if the ear pain, fever and headache have been present for more than 48 hours then may be a bacterial infection that needs antibiotics for treatment.
