It seems quite a long time since lose motion s started, as per your description. The child needs stool test to rule out further infection. usually one infection may lead to another. give her soft light diet with pre-probiotics. Get a prescription for the same. pay attention to her diet. Lots of fluids, Banana, Buttermilk, Lemonade etc. Shall be the part of regular food. If motions are too watery then ORS and zinc shall be given for two weeks. But before doing any thing check with your pediatrician.
