Meds: Depending on her age, Ibuprofen or tylenol (acetaminophen) may be helpful, but if her pain persisits, despite 2 weeks of antibiotic drops, she may have an internal ear infection requiring antibiotics my mouth (not just drops). And i would reccomend her seeing a dr. To get re-evaulated. Goodluck.
