Question

My 8-month-old baby had the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and is now experiencing night-time vomiting and diarrhea. What should I do?

Answer

The child may have experienced side effects after receiving the MMR vaccine. Monitor for any fever or other symptoms. Make sure to keep your child hydrated and administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take your child to a doctor for further examination and treatment. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s diet and rest, helping them recover as quickly as possible.
