It seems like it could be that she ruptured the ear drum. I THINK that the treatment would be antibiotics and antihistamines and painkillers.

But I am not a medical person, just a mom and grandmom.

Our daughter had a ruptured eardrum when she was very little and in the middle of a move from one city to another. It was nasty but everything was restored to normal within time including hearing. The pressurized cabin on the airplane may be not good at all. You are right to be concerned. We drove back from Disneyworld one time with a granddaughter who had a similar problem. Doctor didn't want her to fly.
