Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

As per your complain in case if your daughter has a cleft palate it can be repaired by the age of about 12 months and you should get it repaired as early as she reaches the age to avoid further feeding and speech issues..

As far as pain in ear is concerned it seems to be most probably ear infection and not due to cleft and for this you need to consult a Paediatrician and get her evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like otoscopy can help in diagnosis and will be treated accordingly..

She can be given oral antibiotics and pain reliever syrups along with antibiotic and analgesic ear drops for relief..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
