How to treat sequelae of poliomyelitis

Post-polio syndrome is an acute infectious disease caused by the polio virus. The main clinical manifestations include fever, sore throat and limb pain. Some patients may develop flaccid paralysis. However, in China, there are still a considerable number of patients with paralysis due to post-polio syndrome, which not only causes physical deformities in children, but also creates serious obstacles for children to take care of themselves, study and enter society. So how to treat post-polio syndrome? Let us introduce it to you below.

Experts say: As long as the sequelae of polio are discovered in time, early intervention treatment is carried out, and reasonable adjustments are made, there is hope of recovery. To treat the sequelae of polio, scientific treatment methods need to be selected, and only good methods can produce good results.

The key to treating sequelae of poliomyelitis is to choose a scientific treatment method

1. Avoiding reinfection during treatment is the most basic protection; Post-polio is an acute disease caused by the post-polio virus, also known as poliomyelitis. The virus is mainly transmitted by food contamination or droplets. If you still do not pay attention to its transmissibility during treatment, and do not pay attention to hygiene and healthy diet, you will not only fail to recover well, but post-polio will turn into a paralysis stage, and treatment will be very difficult.

2. Correct first, then confirm the disease and then perform surgical treatment; in the early stage of the disease, the child's muscles atrophy and limb paralysis occur, but no deformities appear. As the course of the disease prolongs, various deformities slowly appear in the later stage. Joint deformities or even secondary pathological changes such as pelvic tilt and scoliosis make it difficult for doctors to determine the indications for surgery. You can correct the bony deformity first, and then perform muscle balance surgery. It is recommended to complete the ipsilateral or contralateral bony surgery in one stage while performing soft tissue surgery. Convenient surgery is also the benefit of early treatment. If there is still a group or even a level 4 muscle in the widely paralyzed limb, the doctor can use it to replace the main function.

Cell repair therapy is a good method for treating neurological diseases such as sequelae of poliomyelitis, because the cause of sequelae of poliomyelitis is the damage of nerve cells, and cell repair can just repair this damage. Moreover, cell repair has a good therapeutic effect, using the self-renewal ability of nerve cells to continuously proliferate at the lesion site, rebuild the neural network, produce neurotrophic factors or neuroprotective factors, thereby inhibiting nerve degeneration or promoting nerve regeneration. Cell repair therapy is an effective treatment for sequelae of poliomyelitis.

The above is an introduction to how to treat the sequelae of polio, but the above methods cannot achieve the purpose of curing the sequelae of polio. I believe that with the development of science and the improvement of medical level, there will be a direct and feasible solution to treat the sequelae of polio, and the treatment effect and recovery time will get better and better.
