Can I get vaccinated if I have physiological diarrhea?

Many people know about vaccines. Many diseases in life can be treated by vaccination, and vaccines also play a certain preventive role in some epidemic diseases. Physiological diarrhea is also a common clinical disease. This disease has a great impact on people's lives and bodies, so it must be taken seriously in treatment. So can physiological diarrhea be treated with vaccines?

1. Cannot get vaccinated

If the baby has diarrhea or other discomfort, the child cannot be vaccinated. Vaccines that may aggravate the condition or weaken the preventive effect must be given to the child. It is okay to postpone the use of vaccines for a while after the baby's condition is cured and the discomfort has recovered.

2. Definition

Physiological diarrhea is more common in infants under 6 months old. They appear bloated and often have eczema. They have diarrhea soon after birth and have frequent bowel movements a day, even more than ten times. The amount of stool each time is not necessarily large, and it contains a small amount of water and generally has no special fishy smell. Infants with physiological diarrhea usually have no other symptoms except increased frequency of bowel movements, good appetite, no vomiting, and their growth and development are not affected. After adding complementary foods, their bowel movements gradually return to normal.

3. Causes

The digestive capacity of infants is limited. If the food given to infants exceeds their tolerance, diarrhea will occur. For example, if half of the water in milk is evaporated to make so-called evaporated milk, and then this milk is fed to babies without dilution, some babies may suffer from diarrhea due to the high nutritional content of the milk. Furthermore, the composition of breast milk varies greatly depending on nationality, eating habits, health status and individual differences. Some breast milk does not contain enough nutrients, resulting in malnutrition for the baby, while some breast milk contains more nutrients than the baby needs, and the excess is excreted from the body with diarrhea. Therefore, although babies with "physiological diarrhea" excrete some nutrients in their stool, they have still absorbed more nutrients than ordinary children.
