Hi, This indicates acute gastroenteritis, which may occur following ingestion of unpasteurized milk. If there is no fever, and the stool does not contain blood or much mucus, we need not worry. Just give her frequent sips of fluids like ORS solution to prevent deny Chat Doctor.  Giving zinc supplementation is also good (20\u00a0mg once daily for 2 weeks). If loose stools are not getting down in 5-7 days, she becomes febrile or lethargic, or stool becomes blood stained, kindly take her to pediatrician as this may need antibiotic treatment too. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
