Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. By what you quote I can suggest that she is having diffuse brain swelling. it could have been happening because of viral encephalitis or metabolic changes like sodium in blood or dehydration after effects. The pediatricians who are treating your kids will be the best judges to further investigate and decide on treatment.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
