Hi and thanks for the query,
It is necessary to get her consulted by a doctor. This is so because the full evaluation of this shall be done. In case of epilepsy, a proper characterization would be made to chose the most appropriate drug. If otherwise, the provoking agent of these seizures shall be identified and properly managed. An electroencephalogramme , to check the brain electrical activity could be useful at some point. thanks and kind regards
