As the child already had seizure disorder you plz follow up with your treating pediatrician or neurologist. Plz Dont take many opinions that too without seeing the child.

Could be side-effect of the medication. Need some more history.
Does she have any fever/cough/cold? As she lost weight ? Is the dose correct?
Irritation and fussy can be aura before seizure or simple stomach cramps
