Brief Answer:
Errors of refraction

Detailed Answer:
Dear parent , I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but since all tests came back normal then I would recommend that she gets an ophthalmological examination as errors of refraction either near sight or far sight can cause chronic headaches that is not relieved by medications . I hope you find this helpful.
