Question
Can I apply medicine to my baby’s stomach if they have diarrhea after receiving the vaccine?
Answer
It is common for babies to experience mild diarrhea after vaccination. However, if the diarrhea persists or worsens, it is advisable to temporarily pause other vaccinations and observe the baby’s symptoms. In most cases, applying medication to the stomach is not necessary as it may affect the vaccine’s immune effect. Nevertheless, if the baby’s diarrhea is severe, it is recommended to take them to the hospital for a check-up and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. Additionally, maintaining good hygiene in the baby’s diet and a clean environment can help prevent infections and alleviate diarrhea symptoms.
