Does scoliosis in children eventually go away?

My daughter was recently diagnosed and I'm not sure what we're supposed to do now.

Talk to your pediatrician. You should have been given some options. Scoliosis of the spine can be overcome in childhood, sometimes with exercise and therapy, sometimes with wearing a brace to keep the spine erect. But definitely seek a professional opinion sooner than later so you're not wasting time in correcting the issue.

Scoliosis does not go away, but only about 10% of cases require treatment. Discuss your options with your doctor. Treatment needs depend on the degree of curvature to the spine.
