Answer
Hi.  I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's ear problems.  I am not a doctor so it is inappropriate for me to give medical advice.  Her ear may now have an infection.  If it were my ear and I was having some pain I would go into a 24 hour clinic and have it examined.  Either way, I am certain the clinic or your doctor will refer you to an ENT specialist for further examination of her ear.  I hope things work out OK, Jesse
