Yes it is dangerous as small kids loose lots of water in stools and this is dangerous for them. First and foremost thing is that you should provide lots of water to your kid. I will advise you to feed ORS solutions mixed in water. It will be very helpful if she starts feeding her mothers milk.
Generally antibiotics are avoided at this small age and fluid replacement is the most important thing that needs to be done.
