Hello,
Some ear drops will make your ear burn or sting when they're first put in. Typically, that's not a cause for concern. However, if the discomfort doesn't go away in 10 to 15 min you can give your daughter a painkiller such as Tylenol to relieve the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
