Brief Answer:
Not dangerous...we need to worry only if it's more than 300

Detailed Answer:
Hello... not dangerous please. Though it's out of range, we need to worry only if it is above 300 to 600 please.
if she's on any anti epileptic medication like Valparin, please revert back to her pediatrician for a drug adjustment.
