May not be related: At that age this could represent a secondary ear infection from residual fluid trapped during the cold or it could be a brand new issue. If he seems worse it may be time to have him evaluated for an ear infection or other issue.

See doctor: Ear infections usually follow a cold and it is likely he has one. The doctor can check and prescribe the correct treatment or reassure you if the ears are normal.
