Typically at this age, we do not recommend any medications for diarrhea. If she has an infection she just needs to clear the infection and allow her body to heal on its own. If diarrhea has been going on for more than 2 weeks then you need to be seen by your doctor right away.
Imodium should be ok but your question is best addressed by a pediatric gastroenterologist.
