Polio is a very serious disease, also known as poliomyelitis, which is a potentially teratogenic disease. Although medicine is relatively advanced now, diseases like polio are difficult to treat and can easily leave sequelae. So, can the sequelae of polio be cured?
Polio is a disease caused by viral infection that can damage the nervous system of children and affect normal limb activity. The best recovery period for children with paralysis symptoms is within 1-2 weeks, and the degree of recovery varies from person to person. Mild pediatric patients can recover to normal within 3-12 months after timely care, and the recovery effect is relatively ideal. Severely ill children may have permanent disability symptoms.
Children with severe cases of polio may suffer from severe disability sequelae. After two years of onset, the child's limb muscles will atrophy and gradually become deformed, and there will be no hope for neurological function to recover, resulting in permanent disability. Children with residual sequelae should also receive timely rehabilitation treatment, and their symptoms can be slightly improved.
Polio is contagious and can cause significant harm to the human body. Everyone should pay attention to prevention. Now the country can vaccinate school-age children for free. Through vaccination and taking sugar pills, the incidence rate of polio can be greatly reduced. For the health of their children, parents must promptly vaccinate them.
