Polio Symptoms: 14 Early Warning Signs of Polio, Types, and Causes

9-Diarrhea

Diarrhea

It is an intestinal disorder that is characterized by the increase of frequency, fluency and, often, the volume of bowel movements, accompanied by a decrease in the consistency of these. In some cases, diarrhea forms part of the symptomatic of the disease because the poliovirus reproduces in the stomach. At the same time, this symptom may cause dehydration due to the amount of fluid the body ejects. For that reason, it is essential to take plenty of water to keep adequate levels of fluids and electrolytes, critical to the proper functioning of the organs.
