Does t98 drops cause loose motion in baby I have given him 0.75 after 10 week vaccination. He is 2 month 12 days and weight is 5.4 kg

Hello
T-98 usually contains paracetamol + mild antipyretic agents, and loose stools are not a common side effect.
Coincidental viral infection – common at this age
Immature gut – some babies react sensitively to even mild medicines
Feeding-related changes – new formula, feeding pattern, etc.
Next Steps
If baby is active, feeding well, and passing urine – usually nothing to worry
Continue breastfeeding or formula
T-98 can be stopped if not needed; monitor stool pattern
No need for ORS or antibiotics unless advised by Pediatrician
If T-98 is needed again, switch to plain paracetamol drops (like Calpol) based on weight: 0.8ml
Health Tips
Red flags:
>6–8 loose stools/day
Mucus, blood, or foul smell in stool
Poor feeding, lethargy, or fever
Weight loss or decreased urine output

After vaccination, especially the rotavirus oral vaccine, babies can sometimes have mild loose stools for a few days. This is common and expected.
The paracetamol drops you gave (T-98) are safe and do not usually cause this.
Next Steps
Keep feeding the baby well, if stools worsen, consult physically

Paracetamol drops like T98 can sometimes cause mild diarrhea, but persistent or severe symptoms are unusual, and another cause (like mild post-vaccination reaction, infection, or intolerance) is also possible. However, since your baby's loose motions are severe and continuous and he cannot sleep, it requires prompt medical evaluation to prevent dehydration and identify the underlying cause
Next Steps
See a pediatrician immediately for assessment if the diarrhea persists, if your baby seems drowsy or irritable, is feeding poorly, or has fewer wet diapers.
Monitor for dehydration: Signs include dry mouth, lack of tears when crying, sunken eyes, or markedly decreased urination.
Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding frequently, as this helps prevent dehydration.
Do not administer another dose of paracetamol or any medication until you speak to a doctor.
Keep a record of how often your baby passes stool and any other symptoms to inform your pediatrician.
Health Tips
Always use a correct measuring device (dropper or oral syringe) to ensure accurate dosing.
Do not exceed the recommended dose or frequency for your child's age and weight.
Never give multiple medications containing paracetamol at the same time.
If you are ever unsure about symptoms after a vaccination or medication, always check with your pediatrician before giving more medicine or trying home remedies.
Babies under 3 months with persistent diarrhea, vomiting, fever, or inability to feed should always be seen by a doctor as soon as possible.
