Hello,
If she is not taking oral rehydration. Give her normal boiled &cooled water with 1/4th spoon sugar &a pinch of common salt to a glass of water.
Breast milk can be given or give diluted milk with a bit of sugar for feeding. Mostly she would improve on a couple of days.
If not, you have to watch for signs of dehydration(dry mouth,sunken eyes,wrinkles on body or depressed anterior frontanele). If observed so baby needs IV fluids. Take her to ER.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
