The loose stools might take time to subside, just continue zinc for total 14 days. Probiotics for few more days. The episodes should gradually come down, and stools will become firmer. If she is better, need not worry much.
Next Steps
Watch for increase in episodes/ blood or mucus in stools/ fever etc in child. Consult incase of these.

Make sure you hydrate her well with ORS ( WHO recommended ORS)

If you are using formula feeds make sure you are diluting it correctly over dilution and under dilution can also cause loose stools
