This morningn she complained of hand pain, from the wrist down. She s been having some nightime headaches and has a skin rash which the dermatologist has diagnosed as atopic dermatitis , maybe totally unrelated?

if this is a recent phenomenon, I think it would be better to give her anti inflammatory medication for a few days.then after stopping it the symptoms need to be reviewed.
if she has persistent problems you need to take her to a pediatric rheumatologist.
