hi most important thing to look for is the activity of child ,signs of dehydration like dry mouth,sunken eyes,dry skin, decreased activity/craving for water feeling thirst which are danger signs. Having bacteria in a stool exam is not important(normal finding).The natural course will be for 3-7 days.So, no need to worry and give her 25ml/each stool of ORS fluids, and 2.5ml of Syr.zinc FOR 14 DAYS.Hope it answers your query and ready to help you
