Hi Harish,
Welcome to the HCM

I understand your concerns but don't worry. Hold the stool softener at present. Give her oral rehydration therapy such as lemonade, buttermilk, soups, ORS etc. for maintaining hydration. Also, start racecadotril and zinc supplement such as Syp ZnD or Zinconia for early recovery.

Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
