#asktheexpert Hello Doctor! My baby is 5 1/2 months old now.. My baby got the Rotavirus3 oral vaccine on 25/08/2023.. She is passing the loose different textured stools 2 times a day on 30/08/2023 and 31/08/2023 unlike her regular stools that she does every 3 days.. Is it the side effect of Rotavirus3 vaccine or it is not the matter of concern.. And some more her grandmother gave her a little bit of sugar when I brought my baby to her home.... Thanks and Regards

A. if you are giving only breastfeeding then there is a possibility that slightly loose to semi solid stool may be present intermittently. if you see that it is totally watery and also you are giving outside milk then it is advisable to get the child examined by the doctor to rule out any digestion problem or any infection. need of probiotics (sachet superflora gg once a day can be given) and zinc has to be evaluated. in the meantime kindly continue breastfeeding to prevent dehydration. you can give ors also if water loss is more if there is blood in the stool then kindly meet the doctor immediately because it can be dysentery also. not due to vaccine can give probiotic
