Brief Answer:
Likely to be childhood migraine.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your granddaughter's symptoms and the most likely cause could be childhood migraine.

For relief of headache, you can use paracetamol tablets.

If she continues to have recurrent headaches, then, medicines such as cyproheptadine or propranolol tablets can be used to prevent headaches.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
