Hi,
This could be a acute bacillary dysentery or viral illness as there are skin changes also. If the child is active you need not worry. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or green bilious vomiting. You need not worry.But are there is blood in the motion she might require oral antibiotics like Cefixime.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth
