Can I give my 2-year old girl an infusion of Guava leaves to treat her diarrhea? She's had diarrhea for 5 days now but without fever.

Five days of continuous diarrhea in a child requires that you bring her to medical attention immediately. Dehydration must be ruled out particularly if she's not earing or drinking enough to make up for the fluids and minerals losses; stool tests (analysis and culture, ova and parasites) are necessary to rule out any bacterial infection or parasitic infection, respectively.
Meanwhile make sure she is receiving oral rehydration solution (there are readily dissolved oral rehydration solutions for children in the pharmacies, with flavors) and is on an anti diarrheal diet (boiled potatoes and carrots, steamed rice, boiled chicken breast, Laban. No fried foods or sweets).
