Hello
Gall bladder generally becomes thickened due to cholecystitis,ascitis etc.
Your daughter need clinical correlation.
I presume that there is no calculus in gall bladder then pain may be due to acalculus cholecystitis.
She may need broad spectrum antibiotics and analgesics.
Gall bladder thickening in ascitis is called as pseudo thickening and it is not due to inflammation.This condition doesn't require any specific treatment.
Get well soon.
