treatment of the poliovirus

         Treatment of polio cannot cure, so the idea is simply to controll the symptoms until the virus has left the body of the sick. Treatment of the polio virus should include but isnt limited to
                * moist heat to sooth muscle pain
                * pain killers
                * physical therapy
                * orthopedic surgery
          Antibiotics are used in polio victims to prevent infections in the weakened muscle. In many cases polio victims require help breathing in this case an iron lung is often used for a few weeks or untill the person can breath normaly again.
