This period usually lasts for 1-4 days. Most of the cases developed to this stage, belonging to the frustration type, also known as the lucky type.

At this time, the general symptoms are also aggravated. The patient was restless, with headache, vomiting, drowsiness, limb pain and hypersensitivity. There may be myotonia sign on the nape back, and the fontanel of infants may be tense and full, and "spinal cord sign" may appear, which is of significance for diagnosis. This period usually lasts for 3-5 days, but it can be as short as a few hours or as long as 2-3 weeks.

Another part of the children's condition continued to develop and entered the paralysis stage.

(3) The third stage - paralysis stage: generally in the first 3-4 days of paralysis into this stage, about 5% of the cases can not go through the paralysis and directly into this stage.
