Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM,
Child is suffering with GIT infection.
Get her stool culture done to know the exact bug causing the problem and the drug effective for the causative bacteria.Eradicate the bactrial infection by the relevant antibiotic required with adequate doses.
Please take care of the hydration by giving her oral sips of ORS and fluids.
Hand to mouth hygiene to be taken care of.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
