Hi,
Your daughter can have the white stuff from the ear due to ear infection. She might need to be seen by a doctor again to determine if it is infection of the ear canal or behind the eardrum.
If the infection is from behind the eardrum she will need oral antibiotics.
Please try to avoid water from entering her ear as it may make the infection worse. Use cotton to plug the ears during showers.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
