There is no 'magic' medicine for young children to stop their loose stools. A detailed consultation and gut improving medications to be started. Plenty of oral fluids, ORS juice (sips as tolerated, 100-200ml for each episode of loose stool), other liquids, soups etc, whichever tolerated. Acute gastroenteritis can last even up till 5-7 days. Watch out for the danger signs and keep the hydration status up.
Next Steps
1) Watch for bad signs of dehydration - dry tongue, dry lips, increased thirst, increased lethargy, not taking orally at all ; persistent vomiting ; poor activity ; 2) Give soft non-spicy home food ; 3) Avoid outside food intake ; 4) No snacks / junk foods ; 5)

If she is passing motions so frequently u need to keep an eye on her hydration status. If she is not taking adequate fluids orally or vomiting, see her tongue is moist and also her skin is dry or not, if the tongue is not moist and skin feels dry then u need to take her to hospital to get iv fluids
