Question
What should I do if my child has diarrhea after receiving the hand, foot, and mouth vaccine?
Answer
Based on the description, the child experienced diarrhea after receiving the hand, foot, and mouth vaccine and probiotics have been administered. However, it is necessary to confirm the cause of the diarrhea to see if it is related to catching a cold or indigestion. If the diarrhea is accompanied by vomiting and is severe, it is important to seek medical attention immediately for a fecal occult blood test. Since the child has hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents should take their child to a doctor promptly and avoid using unknown medications. It is important to follow appropriate medication use. Parents should closely monitor their child’s symptoms and do their best to help them receive timely treatment.
