Urgent sick hamster disease/rash?

When I saw my sister's hamster today, he was shaking and making little squeaky coughs constantly. Also when he got closer to me, I noticed a red area behind his ear, and there was no fur there, and it looked oily. I didn't look long, but I think it was a little scabby. I'm not sure if it was behind both ears or not. Only one for sure. I also noticed a smell. I don't know how to explain it, maybe like stale urine or something. He is about 2 years old and a Robo Dwarf hamster. What's wrong with him?

    It sounds like he has ear mites so you need to take him to the vet and get some medicine to put in his ears.
