Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms of your daughter seem to be related to anemia.
If you can attach the blood work report it will help me better through the diagnosis.
I would also suggest you to do the ferritin blood level. It will help to understand how much iron is stored in the body.
I also recommend doing an electrophoresis of hemoglobin.
These examinations will help to understand the cause of anemia.
Meanwhile, I would recommend a diet rich in iron.
I suggest spinach, peas, lentils, white, red, and baked beans, soybeans and chickpeas.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
