Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service
I understand your concern
This might be a mild form of acute gastroenteritis. As she do not have fever, she is active, playing and feeding well, we need not worry now.
Most of these are viral, and will resolve in 5-7 days. Just ensure adequate fluid intake, and avoid giving fruits/juices till recovery as these might exacerbate loose stools. Giving a probiotic will hasten recovery. You can give her Enterogermina probiotic suspension, one vial daily for 5 days, or ECONORM XXXXXXX twice daily for 5 days. Giving curd/yogurt is also good.
If this do not settle in next 5-7 days, she develops fever/abdominal pain, stool becomes blood stained or contains lot of mucus, kindly get back to me. Here, we might need antibiotic therapy too.
I hope this answer will help
Let me know if I can assist you further
