Hello,
If it is due to wax, one needs to use wax softeners for 3 to 5 days and then go for syringing. However it may be due to Acute Otitis media, if your child had cold recently then she will need a different treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
