Brief Answer:
She should continue the same dose.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

On medication your daughter's thryoid levels are fine. So, it is advisable to continue at the same dose. However, she needs to visit a doctor and remain under his follow up. The doctor may lessen the dose of Thyronorm to 50 mcg per day and test once again after a couple of months to see if that is fine for her. If not, he can switch back to the previous dose.
