she should visit an ER as its already been 4 days of diarrhoea , and with blood now. she has to be started on antibiotics preferably as mere fluid replacement with Oral rehydration solution hasnt helped her much. if ER is not possible , then you may start tab metrogyl (metronidazole) 100mg thrice a day for 3 days + ORS satchet each in 1 litre of water twice day+ tab sporlac(lactobacillus) 1 tab twice a day. this should help her.
