febrile seizures are common in children up to 6 years old. usually they tend to outgrow them afterwards but the fact that your daughter has had quite a few may indicate that she will develop epilepsy when she is older. have you taken her to see a neurologist? maybe you should try some anticonvulsants, they usually say for about 2 years, to see if it helps and if the seizures do stop then she can be weaned off it to see if it was actually just a childhood thing.
take care
