Question

The baby received the DPT vaccine on May 5th and started having a fever with diarrhea on May 7th. Although the fever subsided after taking medication, the diarrhea persisted. After consulting with several doctors, there has been no improvement. What should be done?

Answer

It is common for babies to experience fever, swelling, pain, and rash as reactions to the DPT vaccine. Diarrhea may not be related to the vaccine. It is recommended to undergo a routine stool examination and can take Montmorillonite powder and probiotics. In case of severe vomiting, oral rehydration salts should also be supplemented.
