Epilepsy or not?

Need help to figure out if the symptoms my 3 yr old is seeing is actually a seizure or something else. This has occured twice in 5 months. In Both instances 1) She was sick due to fever,cough,cold for a week before the occurance but was getting better. 2) In both cases she didnt exibit any fever or issues in the morning. 3) She was asleep at daycare/pre-school and started making Moaning sounds and when they tried to wake her up she didnt respond. she had saliva in her mouth and had lost urine control. 4) paramedics took her to ER and ER doc said it was due to Ear infection. She was dizzy and sleepy for the next 4-5 hours. 5) In both cases, next day the Pediatrics confirmed there was NO ear infection. 6) 1 hr EEG, blood test, EKG were all normal. Neurologist cant confirm if this is case of Seizure. What could this be? Any response is appreciated.
