Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
It is very likely your grand daughter is having a seizure. She needs to also be examined and rule out meningitis or other brain problems that might be very rare causes of her symptoms but are important to be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
