Hi.
I can understand your concern for your daughter.
In fact the fluid behind the ear drum can take much time to resolve particularly if there is an associated URTI.

I would advise you to get to the office of an ENT for proper clinical evaluation, investigations and proper treatment.

She will need a combination of antibiotic, anti-inflammatory medicines along with decongestants, and supportive management.

I hope this helps your daughter.
