Question
A one-month-old baby is scheduled to receive vaccinations but has jaundice with an index of 8.4. The doctor has prescribed Barberry and probiotics, and after taking them, the baby’s stool turns black. Should the baby still receive the vaccinations?
Answer
The baby’s stool turning black after taking Barberry is a normal reaction and will not affect the baby’s health. It is recommended to continue the treatment and monitor the jaundice index, and then go for the vaccinations once the index decreases.
