What Causes Headache And Weakness In A Child?

Hi there, my 9 yr old daughter has been unwell since 12th nov. this started 6 days after her nasal flu spray she was given at school. It started with severe headaches which she has had constantly since nov. Hospital were excellent and done an MRI scan to eliminate anything serious. This showed she had severe blocked sinuses, of which she had a weeks worth of medication and nasal spray, also a few days of steroids. Doctors say the medication definitely would have cleared the blocked sinuses. However, my daughter is still very weak, not wanting to eat anything at all, light headed, and has no motivation to do anything other than rest on sofa. This has carried on all through christmas and she has not showed any signs of excitement at all. We are seeing a Paediatrician in 3 days time,,but I am just worried sick why she is not wanting to eat. I am managing to maintain her weight more lately as we have started her on build up drinks and am making her eat small portions each day. Can u help in anyway please? By the way, she does stuff from paediatric migraines of which she has started taking Proprananlol twice a day. But this headache is still ongoing from mid November.
