Actually prayers and rushing the kid to the hospital did the trick.But what I can say is avoid dairy ,sugary and fatty/oily food when the kid has this condition,this type of food makes the situation even worse concentrate on fluids esp. water ,boiled or stale food.

Talk to a health profesional b4 vaccination coz some kids may develop allergic reactions that are pretty nasty. After 1st dose ensure anyone who handles the child practises good hygiene since the child's excreta has live virus, able 2 infect anyone with no immunity.

The vaccine is not given to children older than 6 months due to teh risk of intussusception which rotashield had and they targetted older infants. The relative contraindication is due to this risk and reducing prevalence of the condition in oldre children. Allergic reactions the reason for not giving kids above 6 months!!!
