Brief Answer:
Take oral rehydration

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

It maybe either food poisoning or viral gastroenteritis. She will be ok. She can try home remedies like thicker foods. Avoid juices and milk for sometime. Take properly cooked home food and cleaner drinking water. Pomegranate seeds also help.

After each motion she can take ORS that has been prepared in clean drinking water.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
