Your daughter has developed infection in that area. So try to avoid further injury to that area. If possible remove earrings, clean that area thoroughly with antiseptic solution, then apply antibiotics cream. And consult your doctor, because she will require oral antibiotics as well.

Feel free to ask if any queries..

Hope this advice helped you.
