Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

Your daughter should get investigated with serum Vitamin B 12 estimation. Sometime B12 deficiency can present with fatigue and neurological symptoms. Her thyroid profile also should be checked. If no cause found then neurologist consultation needed for neurological examination and evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
