    Managing poliomyelitis (polio) primarily involves supportive care, as there is no cure for the disease. Here are some key approaches:

    Supportive Treatments:-
    1. Bed Rest: Essential to help the body recover and reduce symptoms.
    2. Pain Relievers: Medications like ibuprofen can help manage muscle pain and headaches.
    3. Hot Moist Packs: Applying these can help control muscle pain and spasms.
    4. Ventilators: In severe cases, portable ventilators may be needed to assist with breathing.
    5. Physical Therapy: Regular exercises can help maintain muscle function and prevent deformities.

    Preventive Measures:-
    1. Vaccination: The most effective way to prevent polio is through vaccination. The inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) is commonly used.
    2. Good Hygiene Practices: Regular handwashing and maintaining good sanitation can help prevent the spread of the virus.

    Managing Complications:-
    1. Antibiotics: Used to treat secondary infections, such as urinary tract infections.
    2. Antispasmodic Medications: These can help relax muscles and reduce spasms.
    3. Homoeopathy: symptomatic Homoeopathic medicine.

    Long-Term Care:-
    1. Rehabilitation: Ongoing physical therapy and rehabilitation are crucial for those who have experienced paralysis to improve mobility and quality of life.
    2. Support Groups: Connecting with support groups can provide emotional and psychological support for patients and their families.

    Polio is diagnosed by a healthcare provider based on the symptoms and a physical examination. The diagnosis can be confirmed by a laboratory test of a stool sample, which can detect the poliovirus. The virus can also be found in a throat sample only during the first week of illness. A test of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, or cerebrospinal fluid, may be used to rule out other diseases of the nervous system.

    Poliomyelitis is an illness caused by a virus that mainly affects nerves in the spinal cord or brain stem. The symptoms of poliomyelitis can vary depending on the severity of the disease. Some common symptoms include:

    – Fever
    – Fatigue
    – Headache
    – Vomiting
    – Stiffness of the neck
    – Pain in the limbs
    – Muscle weakness
    – Difficulty swallowing
    – Breathing difficulties
    – Paralysis

    One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis, usually in the legs. Among those paralyzed, 5-10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized. Polio mainly affects children under 5 years of age.
