Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,
Yes it can be a minor type of fits (epileptic seizure)

Child should be shown to neurologist/paediatrician for clinical examination and require imaging brain and EEG to know the exact cause of it

Meantime hydrate the child well, if child is running mild fever give her antipyretics that is paracetamol suspension as per body weight (15mg /kg body weight per dose)

Hope this will help you

Regards
