Hello,
The reports of your daughter are suggestive of seizures in her which are probably due to worm infestation. The medications which she is on are for control of seizures. But i am of the opinion that these medications are too much and are in a higher dosage than is required for a child of her age. The giddiness and change in behavior are likely to be due to side effect of these medications. You need to consult a neurologist for optimization of the medications.
Good luck
