HI THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY

AS PER DISCUSSION YOUR DAUGHTER SHOULD HAVE EXERCISE INDUCED ASTHMA WITH SINUSITIS(INFECTION AND/OR INFLAMMATION OF SINUSES)
CAUSE OF HEADACHE MIGHT BE SINUSITIS.
During normal breathing, the air we take in is first warmed and moistened by the nasal passages. Because people tend to breathe through their mouths when they exercise, they are inhaling colder and drier air.

In exercise-induced asthma, the muscle bands around the airways are sensitive to these changes in temperature and humidity and react by contracting, which narrows the airway. This results in symptoms of exercised-induced asthma, LIKE--

Coughing with asthma
Tightening of the chest
Wheezing
Unusual fatigue while exercising
Shortness of breath when exercising
