Welcome to Health care magic. Thank you for posting your question.
I can understand your concern for your daughter.

SARCOIDOSIS is multi-system disease involving the lungs (>95% cases) , skin , lymph nodes , eye , spleen or heart. Ear infection is not associated with sarcoidosis.

The clinical symptoms are usually cough and breathlessness. fatigue , fever , night sweats to start with.
It is often due to lack of symptoms that SARCOIDOSIS is late to pick up. You are lucky that the diagnosis is made early.

It can be diagnosed with a chest XRAY , PET scans and bronchoscopy.

With proper treatment , it can be kept controlled.

I would suggest you to consult a pulmonologist immediately and get your daughter examined.

Do not worry.

Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
