Forming query with unreserved characters

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I am trying to query a keyword that has a dot (.) appended to it. The query works fine on Kibana's console but not on my application's function. This is the function that creates the query given a keyword:

    searchOperation(keyWord:String){
    
    {
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "query_string": {
            "fields": ["message"],
            "query": keyWord + " AND \"DateID\""
          }
        }]
    }}}}

An example keyword that contains that character is: "BAD.IJH.KLM"

I append an escape character ('\') before and after the quotation marks so it becomes \"BAD.IJH.KLM\" and my query would look like this :

    

    {
  "query": {
    "bool": {
      "must": [
        {
          "query_string": {
            "fields": ["message"],
            "query": "\"BAD.IJH.KLM\" AND \"DateID\""
          }
        }]
    }}}

but my query doesn't search for the exact keyword with the dots and instead searches for subtrings within "BAD.IJH.KLM". How can I modify my keyword/query so the query searches for the exact string with characters that are not part of the reserved characters?
