Appetite reduced after vaccine
My son is 3 months old. He is used to drink both mother feed and formula as well everyday. But 3 days before we got him vaccinated. After that his appetite significantly reduced and not at all drinking formula milk. His body is also chill (but thermometer temperature is normal). Any thing to be done now?

It's normal to have some pain at vaccination site, fever for 2-3 days and being dull or irritated. But if the child is not accepting milk at all, then you need to get him checked. Whether he is passing urine or not? How's sleep? We need to know many things.
Next Steps
please seek a video consultation.
