Hello,
Her symptoms could be related to a genetic disorder (Ehlers Danlos) or local inflammation. I recommend checking her thyroid hormone levels too. Consulting with a pediatrician as soon as possible in necessary in order to perform some tests to help find the possible causes underlying her situation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
