SayPro Serious symptoms of diarrhoea

In most cases, acute diarrhoea is self-limiting and will resolve by itself within a day or two. 
However, contact your doctor immediately if you experience serious symptoms including:

• blood in the faeces
• pus in the faeces
• painful passage of faeces
• repeated vomiting
• inability to increase fluid intake
• reduced or absent urination
• fever (temperature greater than 38 ºc).

If you have a serious chronic medical condition, such as kidney or heart failure, even one day of diarrhoea can be dangerous. It’s safer to see your doctor as soon as possible.
