Depending on the age of a person, his daily diet and lifestyle, the frequency of emptying the bowels is different. In this case, there is a certain norm for an adult - this is up to 3 times a day( exception - diarrhea).In the event that the intestine is not emptied for 3 days, there is a possibility of constipation.
Frequent fluid stools are a major sign of diarrhea, which also causes fever, chills, abdominal pain, weakness, nausea, vomiting and decreased appetite.
In cases where diarrhea does not stop, its cause is localized in the small intestine and the loose stool is a sign of disruption of its normal functioning.
When diarrhea in the stools there are particles of undigested food, and the content of water in them reaches 95%.It should be noted that against the background of fever, chills and general weakness there may be no pain in the stomach, and the cessation of muscle spasms occurs immediately after the bowel has been emptied.
Diarrhea usually leads to severe dehydration and increased fever and chills, so it is necessary to stop diarrhea as soon as possible. Particular attention should be paid to newborn children, whose loss of body fluid and weight loss immediately affect negatively on the overall health. It is important in this case to immediately normalize the temperature.
There are many reasons for the development of diarrhea with chills, weakness, nausea, vomiting and fever. The main reasons include:
- penetration into the body of pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms, the vital activity of which has an exciting effect on the intestinal tissues, which leads to excessive separation of water and sodium;
- tumors in which there is an increased secretion of intestinal / gastric juice;
- excessive secretion into the lumen of the colon of the secretion of the gallbladder;
- reception for medicinal purposes laxative preparations.
Diarrhea, fever and chills are signs of infection.
Diarrhea, caused by a viral infection, is mostly accompanied by chills, vomiting and general weakness. The cause of the development of diarrhea in adults or children are various viruses, bacteria or parasites that have penetrated into the digestive tract. Diarrhea attacks in this case can occur up to 10 times throughout the day. In the event that the disease develops against the background of the action of E. coli, liquid stool persists for a week and can be accompanied by chills, nausea, fever and general malaise.
Symptoms of diarrhea caused by a dysentery bacillus or salmonella are more pronounced. In addition to diarrhea up to 30 times during the day, there is an admixture of pus or blood in the stool. In addition, the appetite completely disappears, a feeling of weakness caused by high fever, chills and vomiting prevails, as well as a decrease in blood pressure. As a result of severe dehydration caused by excessively frequent diarrhea, when you try to get up, a strong dizziness begins.
Diarrhea, fever, chills, and vomiting can result from medications such as antifungal agents, antibiotics, and various synthetic or herbal remedies. These drugs can disrupt the natural balance of the intestine.

viruses Quite often diarrhea of a viral nature is accompanied by fever, chills. Excessively watery feces with an admixture of blood or bloody mucus, the number of defecations throughout the day reaches 20 times.

Increasing signs of viral diarrhea occurs gradually. Diarrhea is accompanied by vomiting, high fever, chills and weakness. At a certain point, the organism is intoxicated and dehydrated. In case of viral disturbance of the gastrointestinal tract, there are painful sensations in the abdominal region, which can be both permanent and periodic, as well as a sharp increase in temperature and chills.
