Patient's question:
Can post-polio syndrome be treated? I have a friend with post-polio syndrome, and now I don't know if there are any good treatment methods. How should they be cared for on a daily basis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your situation, it is recommended to undergo treatment. In addition to treatment, proper care is also necessary:1. Family members should frequently turn and change the patient's position to maintain skin cleanliness and prevent pressure sores.
Suggestion:
2. The patient's living room should be quiet, with fresh air, and the room temperature should be kept around 20°C.
3. Patients with post-polio syndrome should rest in bed while maintaining unobstructed airways. Adopt the correct side-lying position to facilitate sputum drainage.
I hope my answer is helpful to you, and I wish you good health.
