Solution
Polio drops:
Polio drops are not administered to children who have diarrhea since it is an oral vaccination that may be ejected from the body owing to frequent movements.
As a result, the vaccine's effectiveness in combating the poliovirus may wane.
Poliomyelitis, sometimes known as polio, is a debilitating and potentially fatal illness caused by the poliovirus.
The virus transmits from person to person and can infect a person's spinal cord, resulting in paralysis (inability to move bodily parts).
The most serious symptom of polio is paralysis, which can result in lifelong disability and death.
