Brief Answer: relax. Detailed Answer: Hi. Thanks for your query. I understand your concern. Acute enteritis is mostly viral in nature and settles in few days. Most important is to maintain and monitor hydration I suggest you to give her oral rehydration solution sip by sip after each loose stools. Give probiotic XXXXXXX half twice a day for few days. Also give lemonade,coconut water,curd,banana,rice porridge,boiled potato. Watch for feature of dehydration like decrease urine output/lethargy/irritability and in case you find any get her evaluated by pediatrician to access level of hydration before you leave..
