Hello
Please know that I am not a doctor. In researching your question it seems that warts can be troublesome in that they can come back. I once had a plantar's wart on my foot that came back a couple of times despite being frozen off.
It seems that in some cases for the freezing procedure to be effective liquid nitrogen treatments may be needed every 1 to 3 weeks for a total of 2 to 4 times. If no improvement is noted, your doctor may recommend another type of treatment.
I would definitely call the doctor back and schedule an appointment to see what other treatments can help your daughter.
