Brief Answer:
Observational follow up is needed

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for asking on this platform

I completely understand your concern.
This may be a case of seizure disorder without any specific etiology.In about 20% cases of seizure disorder all the investigations(even video eeg) found to be normal.
Here regular follow up with assessment of physical and mental growth is needed.
I won't get worried if the birth history was not significant and development till date is normal,as all the investigations are normal and major abnormalities have been ruled out.
Continue with the seizure medication.The baby can be lethargic due to the post seizure state or due to the medication and I assume that it whould improve within few days.

Please let me know if you have any more doubts.
Wishing for your baby's good health.
Regards
