Depends: It depends on a few things. One would be her age. If she is a child, i might be concerned for an ear infection. If her symptoms started with congestion, the earache might be from the congestion causing pressure on the ear. A decongestant might help. If this is the case, it is likely a virus but you may want to see your doctor to be sure it's not an ear infection.
