She may be suffering from eustachian tube dysfunction which usually occurs secondary to common cold. Not much of treatment is required and usually it will resolve on its own. Avoid using ear buds to clean the ear as it can increase the symptoms
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment if required
