Hello dear,

Symptoms such as fever, nausea, light headedness, nausea, etc. have been reported in individuals after taking Pneumonia vaccine.
These effects are usually mild, self limiting, well tolerated & subside on their own.

However, if symptoms persist even after 02 days, then it can be attributed to an infection or inflammation in the Gastrointestinal tract.

Under such circumstances, you need to consult a Gastroenterologist for proper clinical examination.
Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of serum electrolytes & Ultrasound scan of abdomen & Pelvis will be helpful in detecting any pathological cause for the symptoms.

Management will involve:
1. Tablet Pantoprazole + Domperidone twice daily (to be taken half an hour before food)
2. Anti spasmodics like Dicyclomine preparation twice daily (to be taken after food).
3. Oral Rehydration Solution (O.R.S) for maintaining the hydration status & electrolyte balance of the body.
4. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods.
5. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
