Hello,
As long as your daughter has normal bowel movement, no pain, no fever, and no blood or mucus in the stool, there is nothing else needed but just watch how she will be in the next week or so.
If she gets any abdominal pain, the bowel movement changes or there is blood or mucus in her stool she will need to see her doctor.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
