Daney,

It sounds a bit like ice pick headaches, but they don't last anywhere near that long.
I'd love to be able to give you a firm answer, but the only person who can do that is a doctor who can review your and your family's medical history, discuss your symptoms with you, and conduct a complete examination.
Unexplained head pain always needs to be checked out. Statistically, it's unlikely to be anything dangerous, but we never want to be on the wrong end of those statistics.
Please call your daughters doctor and let us know what he or she says?
Good luck,
Teri
