Suggest Treatment For Fibril Convulsions, Seizures And Tingling Of Right Hand

Question: Hello, My Daughter is suffering from fibril convulsions, since the age of 1 year and 6 months now she is 5 years old. The last seizure attack was at exactly 5 years and 4 days of age. It was lasted for almost 3 minutes with tingling of Right hand,closing her eyes and biting her teeth. Then our pediatric doctor suggested us for the EEG. We have took her for the EEG on 22/08/2015 and consulted the neurologist. As per the neurologist its a Abnormal EEG showing Rt c4 f4, FP2 f4 and f8 with c4 reversed and its a Generalized spike. And suggested us to go for MRI scan. The drug of the choice is XXXXXXX pill Syrup with 2ml twice a day for 2 years. My confusion is does convulsion with fever is considered as a Epilepsy?. Does XXXXXXX Pill has any side effects. Why the fibril convulsion with fever considered as a epilepsy?. My child will only have convulsions if she has only high fever. Please advice
