3 months baby has Diahorrea for 11 days
My daughter is 3 months old. She has Diahorrea for the past 11 days. Watery, green and frothy 10-15 times a day. She has no other symptoms, active and taking good feeds. Pediatrician prescribed zinc suspension syrup for 14 days, and said it will resolve slowly. Stool test showed no issues(luekocytes - occasional) My question is, can she take 2.5 month's vaccine during this time?

Yes she can absolutely take her vaccination . What she has is a transitional diarrhea which is common in babies . This suggests their gut is getting mature and healthy bacterial growth that helps in digestion is present now.
There is no need to delay vaccination.
Many babies generally pass 10-12 stools a day, some may pass once a day .as long as bay is feeding well and playful activity , it's okay.

Transitional stools are seen in this age group. As child is active and taking feeds well and sleeping well with no fever or blood in stools, don't worry.
Please take the vaccination on time as this has nothing to do with it.
Next Steps
stool test being normal is itself a good sign
