Patient's question:
At one year old, taking medicine damaged my left leg, which now makes me walk with my left knee moving backward. My left leg is a bit smaller than my right leg, but they are still the same. I wonder if there's a chance to be cured? Hello, for polio, which department should I see?Doctor's answer:
If muscle injection is considered to interfere with the sciatic nerve. In such cases, it is not polio that needs to be ruled out, but rather visiting a pediatric neurosurgery department at a Grade III-A hospital. In such situations, physical therapy through the rehabilitation department may be helpful. Additionally, taking neurotrophic drugs. However, the majority are prone to sequelae and cannot be completely cured. Attention must be paid to preventing colds.
