Treatment of Polio(Poliomyelitis)
Doctors can only treat the symptoms while the infection runs its course. But since there’s no cure, the best way to treat polio is to prevent it with vaccinations.
The most common supportive treatments include:
bed rest
painkillers
antispasmodic drugs to relax muscles
antibiotics for urinary tract infections
portable ventilators to help with breathing
physical therapy or corrective braces to help with walking
heating pads or warm towels to ease muscle aches and spasms
physical therapy to treat pain in the affected muscles
physical therapy to address breathing and pulmonary problems
pulmonary rehabilitation to increase lung endurance
