HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Persons, including children, can sometimes have worm infection of the gastrointestinal tract. Based on your description, this is possible.
To determine if there is an infection present, she would need a stool sample to be sent to the lab for analysis.
Treatment would involve the use of an anti parasite medication. There are different types and different treatment regimens according to the type of infection found.
I hope this helps
