Hello, thank you for using Health Care Magic.
It seems like your daughter is having a viral infection causing the loose stools
I would advise you to start her on zinc supplements, to be given for 14 days. It will decrease the duration of diarrhea.
Usually viral loose stools last from 7 to 10 days.
Warning Signs:
1. Blood in stools
2. high fever (temp>102F)
3. Unable to drink or eat properly
4. excessive drowsiness
5. passing urine less than once in 6 hours.

If any of the above are present, take her to see the pediatrician. otherwise it will settle soon.
Regards,
Dr.Vaishnavi
