Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Diarrhea for 20 days suggests that she is suffering from persistent diarrhea.
Avoid lactose containing diet.
Give proper diet inspite of darrhea, otherwise she will have malnutrition and failure to thrive.
Gripe is not required.
You may give colimex-DF drops to relieve colicky pain.
It usually takes time to recover.
Consult pediatrician and follow his advice.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
