Hello,
There is no worry if child is taking plenty of fluids and is not irritable.
If she gets irritable or starts vomiting or refuses oral fluids or if number of loose motions increase,then she may need intravenous fluids.
Give her probiotic like syrup VIZYLAC 5 ml twice a day.
If motions don't stop in next 48 hours,then get her stool tested for pus cells.
If pus cells present,then she would require an antibiotic course.
Thanks
