Hello, I had gone through the problems of your daughter with febrile seizures in the past and now suffering from a type of epilepsy called as complex partial seizures.  She needs investigations like EEG and MRI to look for changes in the brain which could identify the site of her epilepsy. Also, she needs medications to control her current seizures.  I personally feel you need you should also see a Neurologist for a detailed evaluation. If possible try to capture these events on your mobile phone or handy cam and discuss with your doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
