Question
The five-month-old baby has had diarrhea for over a week and has been taking montmorillonite powder and probiotics. Additionally, the baby also took cold medicine three days ago. Is it okay to get vaccinated now?
Answer
Since the baby is currently on medication, it is recommended to wait at least a week after full recovery to receive the vaccination to avoid interfering with the vaccine’s effectiveness. Currently, focus should be on nourishing the baby’s gastrointestinal system and continuing with the medication. You can cook some thin rice porridge or rice soup to protect the baby’s stomach. Wishing the baby a healthy recovery!
