Hello,

This kind of sudden popping sensations in head is mostly due to Pulsating blood vessels in head. If this is single episode without any pain or vomiting or other symptoms then no need to worry much. But if this symptom is recurrent and your daughter feels headache, giddiness, dizziness then better to consult neurologist and get done MRI brain.

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