Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.

I have noted your daughter's symptoms. Based on the history of fits (seizures), we need to find out the reason. This needs further testing such as brain scan (MRI) and EEG.

Medical treatment would be helpful after that.

I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.

Best wishes,
