Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, she is not seizure free now.
Atleast 2 years of no seizure period with normal EEG (electro encephalo gram) after 2 years should be considered as seizure free period. So if she don't have seizure for 1 year with normal EEG then she is said to be seizure free.
So continue all antiepileptic drugs for 1 year more.
While traveling you should avoid overnights journey because peaceful sleep is very important. Give her food android water at regular intervals. Always carry extra quantity of antiepileptic drugs.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
