SSSUEO BY THE DEPT- OF HEALTH INFAHTILi ,,r PARALYSIS j Warnings j Shouid infantile paralysis cases be reported in j your town or district, regard with suspicion any child | who is out of sorts and running a temperature. Put him to bed, isolated, until the doctor 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. There may be a complaint of pain in the storpach. There may be a drowsiness with little sleep— &en a change to irritability. The chiid doesn't like being touched and wants to be left alone. There may be a short period of stifTness of the neck and back. Many cases recover without any further symptoms. Meassurmnee : I When paralysis deveiops, more than half of the diagnosed cases obtain complete recovery. Most of the others get back partial and reasonable use of the paralysed muscles. j 2 The chances of a favourable outcome are helped by early recog-. nition of the disease and early hospital attention. The affected muscles then get adequate rest and treatment, and this helps prevent deformities. Adi'iee: 9 Shouid there be infantiie paralysis in your near neighbourhood, I keep your children to themselves as much as possible. j 9 Let them play in the fresh air, without getting fatigued. See that they get adequate sleep, and eat a well-balanced diet. ( i i 9 Put off any nose and throat operations on children while i infantiie paralysis is in your district.
