A tablespoon of salt tightly wrapped in a clean sock and warmed in the microwave then pressed against the sore ear works wonders for me. Its a strange solution and I have no idea why it works, but it does. And give her something to chew, it will help release any fluid building up behind the ear-drum. Hope she's better soon
