Question
Does diarrhea in children after vaccination have anything to do with the vaccine? What should be noted when caring for a child with diarrhea?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may be suffering from acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended to use herbal decoctions of Baizhu, Rougui, Cheqianzi, Poria, Jianqu, and Gouqizi to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, appropriate physical exercise should be done to strengthen the body’s resistance, prevent infection, avoid excessive consumption of spicy food, not eat too heavily at dinner, pay attention to warmth and weather changes, and consume easily digestible protein foods such as dairy products, lean meat, red dates, and adzuki beans. These can all help in the recovery from the illness.
