Hello,
Daily headaches are very disruptive! I'm sorry to hear this. Since she has been having headaches for 3 years, it is not likely to be because of a tumor because this would have gotten worse. The fact that she has photo-sensitivity would lead to the diagnosis of migraine. She should see a neurologist to try a daily preventive medication. There are several to choose from and try.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lisa Baker, Pediatrician
