Why would my dog have red ears, is it allergies?

Question

My chihuahua/ corgi mix has be hit hard by an allergy attack this past week, the vets thought it may be flea dermatitis but weren't positive. She seemed to be doing better last night and today but I noticed earlier her ears were very red, I figured she was hot because we just came home from a walk, but it's night time now and they are still red, but they don't appear itchy. They are warm but not hot, could it be another symptom of allergies or what else?

Update:

My sister saw one flea on her and we took her right out and got frontline that was two days ago

Stress, allergies and illness can all cause redness in the ears.

Try   cleaning  the   ears  with    a   50/50   white  vinegar and   water   mix.    Find  a  new   vet  that  if  they   think  it  is  flea   related   gets  on a   flea   treatment.   My   guess is a  yeast  infection  in the   ears.

Possibly ear mites. You should take the poor thing to the. Vet

the vet thought it "might be"  did they not test for fleas or mites or infection? even a skin scrap for testing?  I would see a different vet
