Headache in 5yo: Do the headaches disappear during the day after she's been up and about? Did she have t&a for the osa? What do you mean by "sibs are complex"? Does "docs skim over her" mean she does not get a good exam? Please submit your question again and rephrase your concerns.

See below: Daily headaches can be caused by many issues. At 5 yo, i would get your child checked by his/her pediatrician and have a headache evaluation. If your pediatrician is not completely comfortable with headaches (as the complete evaluation can be very complex), then ask for a neurology referral.

R/O OSA: OSA MOST LIKELY CAUSE. Excess snoring/daytime sleepiness/apneic episodes/ AM headaches. And the Exam obesity/small oral airway/The definitive test is a PSG with split night/CPAP titration. I would request copy of sleep study and get a second opinion if you are not satisfied with the options. You are young CPAP can be difficult to tolerate. ENT FOR UPP EVAL. This will improve most SX
