You are rightly managing her with plenty of fluids and ORS (electral). Meftal spas is ok to relieve her abdominal discomfort. Such episodes of acute gastroenteritis generally get corrected in 3-5 days irrespective of use of antibiotics. Giving Zinconia syrup (containing zinc) for a few days should be helpful. Also give plenty of curd or yogurt. No other medicines required. Normal diet to be given as tolerated. Giving protein enhanced diet is also a good option.
