Patient's question:
What are the main causes of infantile paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, poliomyelitis, also known as infantile paralysis, is an acute infectious disease caused by the poliovirus. The main clinical manifestations include fever, sore throat, and limb pain, and some patients may develop flaccid paralysis. Patients who are bedridden should remain in bed until the fever subsides for one week, after which they should avoid physical activity for at least two weeks. When bedridden, use footboards to maintain the correct angle for the feet and calves to facilitate functional recovery. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination to confirm the condition and receive timely treatment. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
