HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern for your daughter, such symptoms could be due to viral infection, just let the viral fever finish the course till then condition can be managed with "Tab Acetaminophen 500 mg " as per needed in case of fever and headache, blood donation is nothing to do with this but it out to be avoided in some ill condition else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps take care.
