It sounds like you daughter may have experienced a febrile seizure. The medication you gave her to reduce the fever was not able to work fast enough. One thing I always do when my children were younger and they have a fever was to either put them in a tepid bath or to give them a sponge bath. This almost immediately brought the fever down. However, I still would give them a fever reducer.
If she would have another seizure, I would not try and breathe into her mouth. You could cause more harm than good. If the seizure was convulsive, I would put her on her side to make sure that she does not aspirate any saliva. In most instances, the seizure only lasts a short time and she will resume her normal breathing. The reason why she turned a bluish color was because her breathing was greatly diminished, thus not allowing enough oxygen to get into her.
I would make sure you contact your doctor about this incident that happened with your daughter.
