Hello
Welcome to HCM
She is having headache, dizziness with no fever. As she is not having fever and other nasal symptoms most likely it's not flu. Sudden onset headache in a female may occur due to migraine. It is often associated with nausea, blurred vision, photophobia etc symptoms. I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for opinion. Medicines like triptans, propranolol, Amitryptilline etc are very useful in such presentation.
Hope this helps you, thanks
