Introduction to polio symptoms

Introduction to polio symptoms

No matter what disease you have, we must take it seriously, whether it is a cold or a fever. Poliomyelitis can cause great harm to the patient's body. Many patients do not take timely treatment for this disease, and many children will become paralyzed. Therefore, parents must understand the condition and take emergency treatment measures. Let's take a detailed look at the symptoms of polio below.

1. Latent infection asymptomatic type: Latent polio infection symptoms account for more than 90% of all infected patients. There are no symptoms after infection, and the virus reproduces only in the diseased part of the digestive tract to produce viremia, and does not invade the central nervous system. The virus can only be isolated from the feces and some antibodies can be produced in the body.

2. Mild abortive type: About 4% to 8% of patients are invaded by the virus, and the invasion is all non-neural tissue, causing symptoms in the patient's upper respiratory tract, such as varying degrees of fever and pharyngeal discomfort, and many patients will have symptoms such as swollen tonsils. Gastrointestinal symptoms are more obvious, nausea

Vomiting, diarrhea and constipation, and some patients may experience joint and muscle pain.

3. Non-paralysis type: The patient's physical condition is affected by the invasion of the virus, which invades the patient's central nervous system and the circulating nerve fibers are spread throughout the body. Many patients with this disease will suffer very serious symptoms. The symptoms are relatively mild at the beginning, and once they enter this stage of symptoms, the patient must pay enough attention, otherwise the body will be paralyzed.

I believe that I can handle a lot of things, especially when I am sick, I will do a good job in treatment. The treatment of polio must be timely and we must also understand the symptoms of this disease. In the early stages of the disease, it is relatively hidden. Many patients only stay in the symptoms of the digestive tract. If you don’t go to the hospital for examination in time, it is difficult to get sick. Only timely treatment can make polio recover.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of polio. I believe our editor has introduced it in great detail. I hope that parents can pay attention to the care of polio. These care measures play several vital roles in alleviating polio.
