Hi ! Loose stools in this age group usually takes a long time to recover. You are already been given the medicines. The only thing in such cases is that the child should not start vomiting, and the intake should be sufficient to avoid dehydration. However, if the symptoms persists for longer, then you may have to get her reviewed by the treating doctor who may go for a repeat stool culture and sensitivity test.
Wishing her an early revovery.
