Methods to prevent recurrence of polio

The incidence of polio in my country is on the rise. Children are very important to us, so parents place all their attention and expectations on their children. Therefore, we must pay attention to the prevention of polio. So, what are the methods to prevent the recurrence of polio? Let's introduce it in detail below. I hope the following introduction will be helpful to you.

Clinically, giving children oral inactivated polio vaccine, namely polio pills, is the best way to prevent polio. Clinically, this vaccine is safe, convenient, has strong immunity and lasts for a long time, and has very few adverse reactions. It is very popular among parents. As long as we take it according to the doctor's guidance and plan, children can develop good immunity.

Another important part of preventing polio is to pay attention to children's daily food hygiene. In daily life, children should be trained to wash their hands before and after meals and not eat unclean food. Children's clothes, bed sheets, toys, supplies and tableware should be disinfected (boil for 15 minutes or expose to sunlight for two hours). In addition, maintaining good environmental hygiene and eliminating flies is also a very important aspect of cutting off the source of infection.

Properly arranging children's rest and nutrition, avoiding overwork and cold, can enhance children's resistance to diseases. As for susceptible children with a history of close contact, they can be injected with immunoglobulin for prevention, with a dose of 0.3-0.5 ml per kilogram of body weight. The symptoms of the patients can be alleviated within one week after the injection. If the patients have not developed the disease after 2-5 weeks of infection, it means that passive immunity is successful and the children have been effectively protected.

In addition, during the polio epidemic, children should be prevented from having their tonsils removed or dental caries extracted, and should not be taken to public places such as theaters to reduce the chance of cross infection. In particular, they should not eat food that has been bitten by flies or contaminated.

After understanding the above content, I believe that everyone is very clear about the methods to prevent the recurrence of polio. Poliomyelitis prevention should be carried out as early as possible, starting after the child is born. We can apply the above prevention methods to our lives to do a good job in preventing polio.
