There are many viral infections which can present like you mentioned. Has she taken rota virus vaccine? Most commonly, diarrhea and these symptoms can be due to this, get complete stool examination done with PCR multiplex test available for GIT which can test for multiple diseases at the same time; it can help in making a diagnosis.
Hydration should be taken care, look for lack of tears or dry mucosal lining or mouth, armpits etc., urine outcome and fever too. Mostly at this age intravenous fluids are given after calculation of requirement. Needs pediatrician for treatment. Hygiene is very important as mostly diseases are due to unhygienic or due to unawareness reasons.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
