Patient's question:
Something has been off these days. I keep feeling irritable and crying without reason, and I can't articulate what's wrong. I have a high fever, excessive sweating, and poor appetite. It's been several days, but the fever hasn't subsided. Even after taking fever-reducing medicine, it hasn't helped. I keep touching my legs, as if they're uncomfortable.What kind of assistance I need: Hello, is my son suffering from polio? What are the risks?
Doctor's answer:
How children contract polio requires the extraction of feces for testing, because the virus reappears in human excrement for two to three weeks. Therefore, extracting samples from feces makes it easier to detect the virus. Prevention: There are no specific preventive methods for this disease, so parents are best advised to have their children understand oral or anesthetic polio vaccines. The protective efficacy of the vaccine can reach over 90%. The World Health Organization recommends that children receive oral polio vaccines. After taking the vaccine, the body naturally produces a form of transmission, attacking the body to produce circulating antibodies and intestinal immunity.
