Hello. Thank you for writing us here.
At her age I think you should go for a deworming process because children are more likely to have intestinal parasites.
And also for better prevention the whole family (pets too) should go for deworming.
Metronidazole is the drug the whole family should take once a day for at least 7 days.
Don't give unnecessary antibiotics please because it would affect the child's health in future. Just treat the dehydration by ORS solution and she would be alright in a week.
Best regards,
Dr Gunjan
