Sounds like, your daughter is having growing pains which is common among the children.Growing pains usually cause an aching or throbbing feeling in the legs. This pain often occurs in the front of the thighs, the calves or behind the knees. Usually both legs hurt.
Growing pains usually get better on their own in a year or two.
For the pain you can give her paracetamol syrup and applying warm water pack will help.
Vitamin d supplement helps in reducing the pain episodes .
