Question
What should I do if my child doesn’t poop after receiving the polio and diphtheria pertussis vaccines?
Answer
Hello. The most common cause of this symptom in babies is the oral vaccine. Abnormal bowel movements are temporary and usually subside within three days. So, there’s no need to worry. It might be due to calcium deficiency, which requires the treatment of oral calcium gluconate and other medications. It’s also important to strengthen nutrition, avoid fad diets, drink more bone broth, and get more sun exposure. Consume more vitamin-rich foods.
