Hello,
Your daughter seems to be suffering from a condition called post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome. The cause of these continuing symptoms unknown and treating with more antibiotics doesn't help. However, I would recommend a doctor's consultation for proper examination and to rule out other causes of knee pain and fatigue.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
