Prolonged first period

My daughter is 14. She got her first period on 26th December but as of today 22nd Jan, she is still bleeding. Her doctor has prescribed tranxemic acid 1000mg thrice a day but the bleeding slows down but it is still there. Her iron and thyroid reports are clear. She is booked for a pelvic ultrasound in ten days but that is still a long time and then the wait for the results. I am getting very worried as to how we can stop the bleeding and what could be the underlying cause for this? Can someone please share any insight. I have been unable to sleep and I am not sure how long she can just sustain this bleeding without it affecting her health.
