Hello,
Your child might have high risk for epilepsy due to family history. So you can follow the doctor advise to continue it up to three years. Additionally I suggests to investigate with CT scan and EEG investigation for further work up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
