Hi,
Thank you for your query.
Your child seems having acute gastroenteritis due to a virus or a bacteria.
The medication is appropriate and continue the medication as advised by your Pediatrician.
If the fever is persisting, you can give stool for culture and sensitivity to detect the organism causing diarrhea after your doctor advise.
Continue exclusive breastfeeding.
Hope I have answered your query.

Hi
Thanks for your query,
Your child is having acute enteritis which is mostly viral in nature and settles in few days.
Continue with medication as advised by your pediatrician.
Monitor her temperature every 6 hourly and give paracetamol if it is above 100F.
continue with ORS after each loose stool,give coconut water.
In case symptoms persist get her reevaluated by pediatrician.
God bless..
