Brief Answer:
Forehead pain
Detailed Answer:
There are 2 possible explanations for this pain.
The first would involve the sinuses. some people are prone to sinus inflammation and this causes forehead pain. There was at least some sinus inflammation last time because the medicines, which presumably treated inflamed sinuses, worked.
the other possibility is tension, as you say. For this type of problem, we would need a neurologist.
I believe the main reason for the pain is sinuses. My recommendation is to revisit the ENT and have him prescribe whatever treatment he deems appropriate.

The best we can do at home is constant reassurance that she is loved. Besides that, it is possible she will need professional counselling.
