Will post-polio symptoms get worse?

Many patients with sequelae of polio will ask, will the sequelae of polio worsen? The harm caused by sequelae of polio to people is relatively serious, and the occurrence of sequelae of polio often makes people feel extremely terrible. In order to avoid the discovery of this disease, it is best to prevent it. So how to help prevent the sequelae of polio from worsening? Let’s explain it in detail below.

The first vaccine used to prevent polio sequelae in the early stage was the inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine. After intramuscular injection, it is effective in protecting susceptible people. Because it does not contain live vaccines, it is also very safe for children with immune deficiencies who have polio sequelae. Isolation should be carried out for at least 40 days from the onset of polio sequelae. In the first week, respiratory and intestinal isolation should be emphasized at the same time. Excreta should be blocked and disinfected with 20% bleaching powder, or exposed to sunlight for two days, and the ground should be disinfected with lime water. Susceptible people who have close contact should be isolated and observed for 20 days. These are the main preventive measures for polio sequelae. It is very important to regularly maintain good environmental hygiene, eliminate flies, and cultivate hygienic habits. During the epidemic period of polio sequelae, children should avoid crowded places, prevent polio sequelae, avoid excessive fatigue and cold, postpone various preventive injections and unnecessary surgeries, etc., so as not to cause the abortive infection to become paralytic.

Prevention can prevent the occurrence of diseases and reduce the incidence of diseases, but prevention is not absolute, so everyone still needs to be clear about the various knowledge about the sequelae of polio. Let’s take a look at the diet for the sequelae of polio.

The diet of patients with sequelae of polio should be regular: generally eat once in the morning, noon and evening. If conditions permit, add a snack once in the morning and afternoon. Eating on time can increase appetite.

Take in enough protein: Patients with post-polio syndrome can take in more foods that strengthen the body's cells to resist free radicals, such as vitamins and the mineral selenium, so as to control weight and maintain the energy consumption required for long-term rehabilitation treatment.

Through the above understanding of whether the sequelae of polio will worsen, we clearly understand that the best way to deal with the occurrence of sequelae of polio is prevention. As long as we do more prevention in normal times, polio will not worsen. I believe that everyone will no longer feel unfamiliar with the above introduction. If you unfortunately suffer from the sequelae of polio, don’t be too depressed. At present, there is a treatment for the sequelae of polio.
