Persistent otorrhoea might be due to a hole in the ear drum. The condition is called chronic suppurative otitis media.
Next Steps
consult an ENT specialist who will examine her ear by an otoscope. a large perforation usually requires surgery. Age is no criteria and it's done as and when required.
Health Tips
do not self clean using ear buds as you risk introducing infection. avoid water entry into the ear
