Hello dear
As per your narration, fits in child at adolescent age is worrisome. Generalized tonic clonic seizure with associated myoclonus or absences may point towards juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. Drooling of saliva sometimes especially in sleep in child may be normal but it's presence continuously with cognitive impairment may be present in Wilson disease.
I will advise you to consult a neurologist for proper examination., evaluation and treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you and your family good health.
