Hi,
This suggests acute gastroenteritis. Give her frequent sips of fluids like ORS or salted rice water after each stools to prevent dehydration. Avoid giving plain water. If not getting better in 3-5 days, she develops fever or if stool become blood stained, kindly take her to doctor, as this will need antibiotics too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
