Is it normal to have a fever and diarrhea after getting a vaccine?

Patient's question:

Diarrhea began with intermittent high fever the night before yesterday, accompanied by diarrhea. The possible cause could be the measles vaccine given to the child the night before yesterday. Previous treatment and effectiveness: Only some HUTONG infant cold powder and montmorillonite were given, yesterday...

Doctor's answer:

High fever, diarrhea—this is definitely not normal. Generally, after receiving the measles vaccine, there may be a slight low-grade fever, but it would never reach above 38°C again. Your child's condition is a second-degree viral fever with nausea and vomiting.
Recommendations:
1. Antiviral treatment: Use Xiyaping + Virazole for antiviral therapy.
2. Oral Montmorillonite clay powder to stop diarrhea.
3. Mama Ai and enzyme tablets to regulate the intestines. During nausea and vomiting, feed the baby unsweetened milk formula. Once the baby recovers, switch to sweetened milk formula or breastfeeding.
4. If diarrhea is severe, seek hospital treatment for fluid replacement.
5. Since you have already taken antiviral medication, the vaccine you received is no longer effective because the measles vaccine is a weakened virus. After your baby recovers and fever subsides, you can get another vaccination at the prevention station.
