Suggest Remedy For Seizures Due To Abnormal EEG

My daughter was diagnosed with abson seizures today due to an abnormal EEG. She is to start levetiracetam with a follow-up EEG in 1 month. Do these seizures diminish with age? Can they progress into more severe seizures? She shows no abnormalities other than 3 episodes of passing out which were thought to be syncopal events until the abnormal EEG.
