Is it low-grade fever convulsions caused by gastroenteritis?

Patient's question:

Hello, Doctor: My daughter is currently 23 months old. Recently, she developed the following symptoms: On the first day, she had vomiting. On the second day, after taking anti-inflammatory medication, she developed diarrhea (yellow, watery). On the third day, she had a seizure, but it lasted for a short time, approximately 2 minutes. On the fourth day, she had another seizure, with an interval of about two hours between the two episodes. On the fifth day, she had another seizure (two episodes). During this period, the following tests were conducted: CT scan, normal; EEG, normal; abdominal ultrasound, showing gas in the abdomen. The 24-hour EEG results are not yet available. During this time, the child showed no signs of fever, blood calcium levels were normal, but white blood cell count was high. After the seizures, the child became drowsy. Can she sleep?

Doctor's answer:
