Hello, my 4 year old daughter has had ear infections for about 1 month and she just had surgery for tubes. She has been taking tylenols and advils every day for over a month.

Good morning, ma'am,
If your child is complaining of stomach pains, the first thing to do is to stop whatever is likely to make the situation worse. To that end, I would suggest stopping, or at least suspending, Advil. Tylenol alone should help with the pain. Your pharmacist will be able to tell you the maximum dose based on your child's weight and the concentration of the product in your hands.
Does she have other symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea or constipation?

No other symptoms.

Thanks for the feedback! In this case, we can try the Advil suspension and check if Tylenol alone is enough.
