If her Hashimoto's thyroiditis is overactive thyroid disease at the time it is possible for her to also have some headaches, but migraines are common and I would first be sure her levels are ok and she is on the right dose and next if these migraines are out of hand and interrupting her daily life ask your pediatrician for a referral to a pediatric neurologist
