Your daughter may have some infection and her crying cannot be related to rota virus vaccine. Take this piece of advice that never feed children from bottle and give breast and if you must feed do it with a spoon.

Once paralytic polio is established, it cannot be cured. It can be managed with physiotherapy just to prevent contractures of muscles. But it can definitely be prevented by vaccination since birth of a child including booster doses. With vaccination in india we have almost eliminated it.

Adults who completed the polio vaccine series as children and are traveling to areas with increased risk of polio should receive a one-time booster dose of vaccine (ipv). For more information on polio vaccine recommendations for travel, talk your healthcare professional or visit travelers' health: poliomyelitis.

Choosing a vaccine is your prerogative. We as pediatricians can only suggest. Both vaccines are effective. Advantage you have with pentaxim is that you additionally got polio injection which is not available separately in private.

Polio, BCG and Hepatitis are all different vaccinations.
They should have mentioned it in your vaccination card whether its given. If you are still not sure better get another dose of the vaccination. There will no harm in giving extra dose even if it has been goven previously but do not miss vaccination.

You can get your vaccination done from local Pediatrician but as they are special vaccines you need to inform doctor prior going there as they have to arrange it specially for you.

I really wonder how the Dr. told that "Rotavirus vaccine" is not important. Its a very good vaccine. Even govt. Of India has included this vaccine in National Immunization Program. It's good for prevention against diarrhoea. We regularly give this vaccine. But 1 important note--- 1st dose should be given after 15 weeks of life (3½ month age. Now you should not give Rotavirus as your baby is older.
