Hello. Sudden dizziness in a child can be due to various reasons. Common of which include hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), hypotension(low B.P) and vertigo due to any auditory causes. Ensure that she eats on time. Skipping meals should be avoided. Please get her blood pressure checked once. Your description of the events does not suggest a seizure. So please do not worry.
