What are the symptoms of rabies?

The symptomatic manifestations of rabies are clinically divided into three phases, i.e. the prodromal phase, the excitation phase, and the paralytic phase, with symptoms such as low fever, irritability, fear of water, muscle spasms, and paralysis. 1. Prodromal stage: there is often low fever, generalized weakness, nausea, headache. With the development of the disease can appear irritability, fear, more sensitive to wind, sound, light and other stimuli, can appear throat tightness. 2. Excitement period: patients who enter the excitement period will have a high degree of excitement, fear and restlessness, obvious fear of water, fear of wind, elevated body temperature, dyspnea and other characteristics. In the external stimuli, such as water, light, sound, wind, etc. can cause pharyngeal muscle spasms, severe cases can cause paroxysmal twitching of the whole body muscle dyspnea. 3. Paralytic stage: after the disease enters the paralytic stage, the patient’s muscle spasm stops, the whole body is in flaccid paralysis, and the patient enters the coma state from quiet. Into the paralytic stage of the patient can be due to respiratory and circulatory failure and death. Appearance of suspected rabies symptoms, need to go to the hospital in time for examination and treatment, so as not to delay the condition. The prognosis is very poor after the onset of rabies, if a healthy person is scratched or bitten by dogs, cats and other suspected animals, it is recommended to receive rabies vaccination in a timely manner, and immunoglobulin if necessary, to avoid the onset of rabies.
