What Causes Recurrent Viral Infections With Headaches, Sore Throat, Dizziness And Lethargy?

my daughter has had viral infection after viral infection since late nov/dec. she started a new school in sep. her general blood test has shown nothing wrong so her gp is sending it off to have the specific test done for glandular fever but he says there is only a very small chance that it will be positive as the general test was normal. we are waiting results but why then does she have banging headache everyday, sore throat and lethargy like i have never seen before. in between all these bouts of infection, she has been back at school but says still dizzy at times. we are on day 7 of this latest infection with no sign of any energy returning.
gp says this can happen in teenagers. is this correct, help!!
