Hello,
You should get the stool examination for the exclusion of bacteria pathology. Usually, lactose intolerance is diagnosed by history. As a trial, you should avoid dairy products for your child and her symptoms will start improving from the second day itself.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
