Brief Answer:
Do not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. As suggested earlier, your baby needs to be hydrated well by ORS along with regular feeds. In case, still she is not accepting it and the urine output is less than once in 4-6 hours then you should take her to ER for clinical evaluation of dehydration and intravenous fluids as per requirement.
Continuation with Ofloxacin-ornidazole ( Syp. Ornof OZ or O2), zinc supplement and probiotics such as Enterogermina will be useful.
Hopefully this will be of help. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
