Patient's question:
A child from a friend's family used to be very healthy and had never suffered from any illness. However, after a fever, they suddenly became unable to walk and collapsed. We took them to a hospital near our home for a thorough examination. After a series of careful tests, the doctor's diagnosis was infantile paralysis. What are the symptoms of infantile paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Polio is caused by the transmission of the poliovirus. Some individuals who had polio in childhood may experience muscle atrophy, severe pain in joints and muscles, secondary osteoarthritis, and progressive weakness and fatigue in adulthood. To prevent colds, wind, and chills, it is advisable to eat a diet rich in high protein, high nutrition, and high calories, and to take appropriate amounts of Vitamin B1, Vitamin B12, etc.
