Brief Answer:
Your daughter is on correct treatment.
Detailed Answer:
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 clinical details and reports of MRI brain & EEG. She has features of seizure disorder (also called as epilepsy). For the treatment, she has been started on correct treatment- Encorate (sodium valproate) and Lobazam (clobazam). These medicines would reduce the episodes of becoming unconscious. The medicines should be continued for at least three years.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,

Sir,
Does these medicine have any Long/Short term Side effects.
Does these medicine have any Long/Short term Side effects.
Brief Answer:
Side effects are minor.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back.
In children, these medicines are safe, as side effects such as mild weight gain with Encorate would not be a problem. Encorate can cause liver damage in very rare cases. Other side effects include mild sleepiness with Lobazam, which is not a problem if given at nights.
Best wishes,
