Infantile Paralysis (POLIOMYELITIS) WARNING If infantile paralysis is reported in your town or district, regard with suspicion any child who is out of sorts and running a temperature. Put him to bed, isolated, until thexloctor comes and determines the diagnosis. The first symptoms may be missed if you are not on the alert. They are : Headache, moderate temperature, flushing. Vomiting, and the child may have some bowel disturbance. A complaint of pain in the stomach. A drowsiness with little sleep—then a change to irritability. Stiffness of the neck and back. Many cases recover without any further symptoms. REASSURANCE | When paralysis develops, more than half of the diagnosed cases obtain complete recovery. Most of the others get back partial arid reasonable use of the paralysed muscles. 2 The chances of a favourable outcome are helped by early recognition of the disease and early hospital attention. The affected muscles then get adequate rest and treatment, and this helps prevent deformities. ADVICE © Should there be infantile paralysis in your near neighbourhood, keep your children to themselves as much as possible. & Let them play in the fresh air, without getting fatigued. Don’t let them over-exert themselves. If swimming, cut down the time in the water; avoid chills after bathing. ® See that they get adequate sleep, and eat a well-balanced diet. ® Put off any nose and throat operations on children while infantile paralysis is in your district. © Take every precaution to prevent contamination of food by flies. © Always wash hands before eating that goes for every member of the household.
