Question

What’s happening when a full-month-old baby has diarrhea after receiving the Hepatitis B vaccine? What should the family do in daily life?

Answer

Hello, this situation may be related to the baby catching a cold, and is unlikely to be related to the vaccine. If the diarrhea is severe, please take the baby to the hospital for medical examination and treatment. For mild diarrhea, you can give the baby an antidiarrheal medicine like Montmorillonite powder for treatment. Additionally, it’s important to keep the baby’s belly warm and avoid catching a cold. The mother should also avoid eating spicy and irritating foods as well as cold foods.
