Patient's question:
The baby received the vaccine on the 14th, which was the attenuated live vaccine for Japanese encephalitis. The baby was in good health during the vaccination. On the morning of the 15th, the baby had yellow, loose stools, followed by another episode of yellow stools in the afternoon, and yet another one at night. On the 16th, the number of bowel movements increased to five in a day. After applying Dinggui Er, a type of umbilical patch, there was no significant improvement. The baby was given Mamiaoi and applied Baby Yitie Ling, which increased to four episodes. The baby's spirits are still okay.What kind of assistance is needed: Is the diarrhea caused by the vaccination? What should be noted when having diarrhea?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description! For the time being, it is more likely to consider the possibility of gastroenteritis! You can use herbs like Atractylodes rhizome, Cinnamon bark, Plantain seed, Poria, Jianqu, Goji berries, etc., decocted and taken orally, which can effectively alleviate your symptoms. Engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance your physical fitness, prevent occupational transmission, and try to eat less spicy and irritating foods. Avoid overeating at dinner, pay attention to preventing colds and weather changes, and consume easily digestible high-protein foods such as dairy products, lean meat, jujubes, red beans, etc. These can promote the relief of the disease.
