As your child is active and have no dehydration you dont have to worry much. Its a viral gastroenteritis which will gradually resolve in 5-7 days time. Give her normal diet and plenty of fluids along with ORS ( WALLYTE soln). Give her syr zinconia 5ml daily for 7 days and Enterogermina half the pack twice daily for 4 days.
