Hello,
I also would be worried about your daughter, especially as it sounds like this headache is worse than what she normally has. With the confusion, weakness, and neck pain I would be worried about a possible infection affecting the covering of her brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and I would definitely recommend she go to see a doctor as soon as possible for a neurological evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
