Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The tooth and the ear pain can be because of the tooth infection and You need to get it treated.
Since you have not mentioned the age of your daughter, considering her age less than 14years, If i am her treating doctor, I would have prescribed a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 250mg TID (if not allergic) and analgesic like paracetamol syrup TID for 3 days.
After taking the course of these drugs you can get the tooth treated endodontically.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
