Hi welcome to the health care magic...

Because of dehydration and electrolyte loss your sister can have weakness..

It could be viral or bacterial gastroenteritis..

I will suggest you to investigate her with stool examination to look for pus cells and bacteria if present..If pus cells present than antibiotic course given

For viral symptomatic management done

Give her lots of fluid and ORS also to replenish lost electrolyte and water

Tablet vizylac taken to replenish lost bacterial flora..If secretory diarrhea more than racecadotril antisecretory drug can be given ..

Take care

Consult physician with keeping this in mind
