If your baby experiences vomiting and diarrhea after taking the oral rotavirus live vaccine, these are adverse reactions to the vaccine.

If vomiting is severe, it is recommended to temporarily fast for four to six hours and not take any medicine. The purpose is to allow the stomach to get enough rest and facilitate recovery.

If you are very thirsty, you can drink a small amount of ginger and brown sugar water, which can warm the stomach and stop vomiting. If you don't vomit after drinking water, you can drink small amounts of water multiple times. Never drink a large amount of water at one time, as it will irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause vomiting. Once the child stops vomiting, you can feed him small amounts multiple times, slowly increasing the amount of food until he returns to normal.

If you experience symptoms of dehydration such as thirst, sunken eye sockets, and decreased skin elasticity, you should seek medical attention promptly and receive intravenous therapy to replenish body fluids. If necessary, you will need to be hospitalized.
