Is polio associated with painful legs & mild twisting?
Patient: sir my child is 3 years and 7 months of old. the doctor diagnose a typhoid after treatment of 8 days and start treatment according to best. but yesterday morning he has said that my legs are painful and i am unable to walk, after then he starts to walk but then his right legs mildtwisted. some time he walks properly and sometimes he walks with right foot slightly outside. sir he fully vaccieted with polio medicine. I consult with the doctor they said it is due to weakness and will remove in a week but he said it could be a polio sign. Sir i want to know weather is a any possibility of polio if my child is fully vaccinated and what should i do. Doctor: dear madamplease do not get apprehensive, you have not shared your country of residence, and if polio has been declared eradicated in your region.it may just be a simple transient muscular weakness, it would have been better if you would have shared what medication was given to the child.just keep a watch on the child and if it does not improve please re visit the pediatrician.
