In such scenarios - usually, Antiepileptic drugs will be given for 6 months to 2 years and then - another EEG will be repeated and if it is normal - the drugs will be gradually tapered and stopped.
So be rest assured - but she needs developmental follow up and assessment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
