6yr Old Complains Of Boneaches & Headaches, Please Suggest Remedy

hello.my 6 yr old girl has lately been complaining of having headaches.she has always complained of her legs hurting and makes me rub them for her at night.her pediatrcian says thats growing pains but it seems to be a little more extreme than that to me.so yesterday i was at the grocery store and got a call that my mom had called an ambulanse to get my daughter because she was screaming to the top of her lungs that her head was hurting.my mom said shortly after she just feel asleep and wouldnt respond to her.but by the time the ambulance got to the hospital she was fine her vitals were normal so the doctor just discharged her with a headache.no test were done or blood work.im not sure what to do or what kind of doctor to take her to.? also about two yrs ago when i had her tested for lead.the doc called me & said her white blood count was kinda low.i never heard anything else bout it from her pediatrition she also in the past year has had strep throat numerous times!

Tests and blood work SHOULD have been done on this child! Knowing her history, I would have started by checking the spinal cord itself and to see how the protective fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid) is flowing. I am also interested in knowing what her lead level is and the results of any other tests she may have had throughout her life. If you have further info, I am available for a video consult through my website.
