Early symptoms and treatment of polio

For parents, when their children are diagnosed with polio, they can discover the disease through their children's daily performance and behavior so that appropriate treatment measures can be implemented in a timely manner.

Early symptoms of polio:

Polio initially presents with fever, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, and general discomfort, which parents often think are colds or indigestion. The fever subsided after 1-4 days, but after a few days, it came back again and was higher than the first time. The prominent symptoms are hyperesthesia-like pain, not allowing others to touch, accompanied by flushing, headache, sore throat, vomiting, sweating, followed by drowsiness and other symptoms. Paralysis occurs after 3-7 days, most commonly in the lower limbs. If the paralysis does not progress further, it can gradually recover one week after it appears.

Treatment of polio:

Polio cannot be completely cured if it has sequelae, and medical rehabilitation is an important aspect of the patient's comprehensive recovery. It runs through the entire process of the patient's recovery. This type of work includes: surgical treatment, functional training, rehabilitation nursing, psychological rehabilitation, orthotics, walkers and other rehabilitation projects, acupuncture, massage and other traditional Chinese medicine therapies, etc.

The goal of polio treatment is to control symptoms in the hope that the infection will resolve naturally. Symptomatic treatments include pain medication, physical therapy, braces and orthopedic shoes, or even surgery to promote muscle recovery. When the disease is serious, you may need to rely on auxiliary equipment to breathe in order to ensure your life.

Medication treatment:

Before stem cell treatment: The patient developed high fever, inability to stand, and incontinence after taking routine oral polio vaccine at the age of 3. He was later diagnosed with "acute disseminated encephalomyelitis" with a history of 1 month. Conventional drug treatment (neurotrophic factors, immunoglobulin) was ineffective.

After stem cell treatment: After three stem cell treatments, the patient could walk for 2-3 minutes with the help of his family members, and his muscle tension was significantly reduced. During this period, combined with the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, it also helped the patient's urination and defecation to a certain extent. The family members were very satisfied.
