Polio Treatment Guidelines

One of the most effective ways to treat polio virus is through vaccination. Routine immunization for all children against poliovirus, starting from infancy is recommended. Oral polio vaccine and inactive polio vaccine are two types of vaccines used to protect against poliovirus.

Most people who contract polio virus will experience mild symptoms and fully recover without any long-term effects.

While there is currently no cure for post-polio syndrome (PPS), there are various treatments that can help manage its symptoms. These may include physical therapy, occupational therapy, medication for pain and fatigue, and assistive devices such as braces or wheelchairs.
