Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Sometimes it does happen . Even the food which suits can become problematic anytime.
But if your child is active and playful , passing urine atleast 6 times a day, there is nothing to worry.
Give her plenty of home available liquids , keep her hydrated.
You can also use probiotics like sacchatomyces boulardii twice a day to help in digestion.
Wishing speedy recovery.

Dr Arun
