Many headaches types: It's near impossible to diagnose headache w/o proper & thorough evaluation. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/headache/basics/definition/sym-20050800 for an idea of different causes. Best way to determine cause is to take daughter to pediatrician or family physician for said evaluation. Appropriately dosed acetaminophen can be used temporarily. Go to ER if fever or change in mentation.
