Can polio be cured?

Poliomyelitis is commonly known as poliomyelitis. Is poliomyelitis curable? This disease usually causes fever, headache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Respiratory and eating functions may be affected, which is life-threatening. However, most patients can recover completely. Only a few patients have sequelae of poliomyelitis, that is, paralysis or disability. So poliomyelitis can be cured, and only a few have sequelae.

Polio has a relatively high disability rate, which greatly affects the patient's life, learning and development. It not only causes physical disabilities in children, but also psychological and social disabilities. Therefore, the treatment of polio requires not only treating the patient's illness, but also social, psychological and other aspects. Therefore, the rehabilitation of polio includes medical rehabilitation, educational rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation and social rehabilitation.

Medical rehabilitation refers to the use of medical means to rehabilitate the patient's limbs. This type of rehabilitation includes surgical treatment, functional training, rehabilitation nursing, psychological rehabilitation, orthotics, walkers and other rehabilitation projects, acupuncture, massage and other traditional Chinese medicine therapies, etc.

Educational rehabilitation refers to the application of cultural education and skills education to provide rehabilitation treatment for children. This treatment can enable patients to acquire certain livelihood skills to be self-reliant and thus integrate well into society.

Vocational rehabilitation refers to the process of educating patients on vocational skills so that they can acquire certain vocational skills and become self-reliant and live in society.

Social rehabilitation means that through education, patients can enter the society well and have social functions like normal people. Social rehabilitation of disabled people means joint efforts from all aspects such as social environment and disabled people themselves to create conditions so that disabled people can participate equally in all aspects of society, truly enjoy their due social rights and interests, and become the masters of society.

As for the treatment of the sequelae of polio, surgery is generally used for treatment, but the possibility of complete cure is not very high, so the treatment of polio should be prevention-oriented. If you have polio, you must go to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid sequelae and disability. I hope that the above introduction to whether polio can be cured and some treatment methods for sequelae can help you.
