Hi
Welcome to the healthcaremagic
Your daughter is suffering from acute gastrointestinal tract infection. For it antibiotic of choice is norfloxacin ( brand name = bacigyl ).For 25 kg dose is 100 mg twice a day.So you are right in giving her bacigyl syrup 10 ml twice a day.
Happy to help you
Best regards
