Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
One of a poor guy from a hilly region is suffering from polio where by his right leg has been affected and he walks with a help of a stick which is very bad to see and feel. so I need to help him in some means where he can walk with out the help of the stick .So can u give me an suggestion for it.
I appreciate your concern for the polio affected person. Poliomyelitis is a viral disease that affects the person in the infant stage and causes weakness in muscles. Though it is a preventable disease by timely administration of polio vaccination in childhood, it is not curable. There are treatments that can make a person live life little more comfortably.
The person can be given antibiotics to prevent infections in the muscles and analgesics to relieve pain. Moderate exercise and nutritious diet are necessary to stay healthy otherwise. The person can be given rehabilitation therapy. That includes occupational therapy, physical therapy, corrective shoes, braces etc.
I do know the region you are living in. There are certain charity organizations that provide these treatments free of cost to poor patients. You can find them online and refer the patient there.
I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthCareMagic.
Best, Dr. Viraj Shah
