Urgent please - is this a hospital job?

[Boringthreadalert]

Sorry. Im feeling stressed.
Ds age 6 got sent home from school at lunch in an awful lot of distress screaming that his ear and head hurt.
Been to gp just. He has

• Temp of 38.5 despite calpol and ibuprofen
• a large swelling behind his ear at the top of his neck
• a lot of pain in his head and ear
• very pale
• distressed / crying / falling asleep very quickly

She was concerned and did a full body check including testes. Told me she has no idea what's caused it and then noticed his ear is bleeding and has very weird brown spots in too.
Has prescribed antibiotics and an ear spray.
Wants to see him again Tuesday to review the swelling In neck (size of a golf ball but not as prominent)
Said if I'm concerned at all go to a&e immediately
Has anyone seen anything like this in an ear before? She said it looked almost like a rash but odd that it's bleeding.
It's also on his school collar.
He had a nose bleed earlier this week which I forgot to tell her. The first one he's ever had

This

Poor little boy. Burst eardrums are so painful, is he having Calpol?

Quite. Real life is calling and wants my immediate attention.

I would def take him to hospital, and my gut feeling is but ear drum and the brown is dried spots of old blood x

If you turn up at my local A&E without first calling 111 they turn you away!! We ended up calling 111 from the car park

I don't think that's the case everywhere, I've been to a&e many times in the past couple of years and never had this happen
