 Hello Kari4242,
Omnicef should be very appropriate to treat an ear infection. It may be that she has developed some pressure in her ear or an infection from a virus. Typically, ear pain will improve and an ear infection will clear within 24-48 hours in about 80% of cases.
If your daughter's ear does not begin to feel better in the next day or so it would be a good idea to have her evaluated to see if there is a different treatment, or less likely a different antibiotic she may need.
Best wishes.
