Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is most likely that she has had a viral flu-like illness from which she is showing signs of recovery. Flu-like illnesses cause fatigue and it is not unusual to extend into another week. Signs of infection in the ear canal are:
-History of water in the ear canal-itching.
-Pain.
-A slimy discharge.
The number one thing you can do to help get her energy level back to normal is to encourage your daughter to eat a good diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
