At this juncture, I would not worry about a blood test, and to start with, you need not even go for a stool test, unless your doctor wants to consider cholera in the diagnosis. The season is for viral gastro, so all you need to do is to continue breastfeeding, and offer the child sips of water that contains oral rehydration salts (ORS). Such ORS sachets are available all over India, and you need to put the contents of a small sachet in 200 ml of clean water (not necessary to boil), and give this solution sip after sip to prevent her from losing the vital body fluids and salts. In addition, she may need medication, for which, and to decide if any tests are needed, you need to visit a pediatrician.
