Exam advised: You don't mention whether the discomfort is in the right upper or lower abdomen or flank. If the discomfort is substantial and especially if there's associated tenderness, I recommend being examined in the emergency room where prompt attention and testing are available. Pain&tenderness in the right lower abdomen is characteristic of acute appendicitis.

Possible migraine: Your daughter will get a more rapid & precise diagnosis if seen by a doctor. Headaches while flexing hips can have several causes such as sinus or ear congestion/infection. It can also be a migraine & this can be very painful for her if she had to ride it out. Standing headache could be a FLUID leak inside the head. If you'd like a TELECONSULT call Parma Neurology @440.842.3816. Cheers!
