Question
My baby received the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine today, but upon returning home, I noticed that the baby has diarrhea in their diapers, with morning stools being loose. I then fed them probiotics. Is the Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease vaccine effective?
Answer
Based on your description and the situation, there’s no need to worry; it will not affect the vaccine. I suggest you keep your child warm and prevent them from catching a cold. Give them moderate amounts of water to drink, protect their abdomen, and focus on taking the medication as prescribed. Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease can be quite harmful to children, so I recommend that parents take their child to a specialist for a follow-up consultation and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, you can give your child some juice to aid digestion and vitamin absorption, prevent stomach upset, and hope for a quick recovery!
