Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like she is suffering from generalised tonic clonic seizures however to help you better I need to have a few more details

1. The strength of the medications she is on
2. Is she compliant with the tablets and does she take it regularly without skipping any
3. have you noticed any factors that precipitate the seizures like lack of sleep, fever, travel, tv etc
4. Have the number of episodes if seizures increased in the recent past

Please get back me to, I am awaiting your reply

Regards
