Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very concerned about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has experienced a series of issues, and I am very worried, fearing that the condition may worsen. May I ask if the baby can use medication for diarrhea after receiving vaccinations?Doctor's answer:
The baby has a bit of diarrhea. If it doesn't improve, the baby cannot get vaccinated. At this time, the baby's immunity is already a bit weak, and if the vaccine antibodies take effect, the baby may experience worsened discomfort and diarrhea. If you are sure it is not pus, there is no problem. You can use povidone-iodine for cleaning. Or, you can take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for examination. If the color of the affected area matches the skin after cleaning, there is no issue. If there is local redness, use an antibiotic cream to prevent infection.
