Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted the history, MRI findings and treatment details of your daughter.
MRI brain is suggestive of an infection on the right side of brain. The most common causes of this infection could be tapeworm (neurocysticercosis) or tuberculosis.
At this stage, the treatment is along correct lines. A repeat MRI scan should be done after three months of treatment to see the reduction in the size of lesion (infection in brain).
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
