General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You can go for ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis.

Consult padiatrician. Tell her to go to the bed early, wake up early, do yoga, meditation, and play outdoor games.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
