Have you tried asking her if she wants to try medication? Maybe she feels it's bad enough to want to try something to make her feel better or maybe she doesn't feel it's bad enough. Talk it over with her. Ultimately it's her body, and she's the one who has to be in charge of taking the meds other wise it'll be a constant battle. Also, if meds is the way you guys decide to go, ask your t for a referral to a pdoc that specializes in kids and teens.
Just some thoughts. She's lucky to have a mom who supports her
