I don't know how oil your child is, but people don't outgrow Hyperthyroidism. She needs to see an Endocrinologist and get fully evaluated and treated. Untreated hyperthyroidism can be very dangerous. You should get her seen as soon as possible.
Hyperthyroidism in childhood is almost always an autoimmune disease and often goes into remission on its own or with medication.
