Hi.... Headache in kids need to be considered serious only when the below symptoms are there - 1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures/ Fits3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. Without the above red flag symptoms, just feeling low energy levels points out towards Migraine and other sorts of tension headaches which are on the rise in current scenario due to excessive academic and peer stress the kids are experiencing. But as she's having altered behavior among these, I suggest you take her to the nearest emergency room as it could be a problem in central nervous system. Regards -
