Something else: Hemorrhoids don't get infected, believe it or not. I would have her see doc at this point for further history and physical exam.

Unlikely: Without pain in the area of the hemorrhoid it unlikely the source. She should see her doctor.

It's possible but: Not common symptoms of hemorrhoidal problem which is seldom infected. Your mom could have viral infection, ear /upper respiratory infection more than anything else. But then again, this is just a guess. Let her see her dr for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. God bless u both!
