Question
I started having diarrhea the second day after receiving the A-group meningococcal vaccine on December 12th. The condition fluctuates between good and bad, and it’s been five days now. I haven’t dared to take any medication, so how should I handle this?
Answer
If it’s due to indigestion, it’s recommended to take Simethicone and Mamila, and also apply Dinggui’er umbilical cord plasters to the navel for treatment; if necessary, you should go to the pediatric department of the hospital for intravenous treatment. Extend the intervals between feedings and increase water intake. If the diarrhea is caused by enteritis, it is suggested that you choose ampicillin injection for anti-inflammatory treatment. Children’s diarrhea has always been a concern for parents, and when treating this condition, general treatment should be considered. Only by using professional methods can family members help children recover from the disease as quickly as possible without affecting their growth and development. Therefore, it is hoped that parents must pay attention to their child’s condition and seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
