Paralytic poliomyelitis strikes without prior warning. The infected person may experience aseptic meningitis with backache and pain in the neck muscles for several days before the symptoms progress to paralysis.
Treatment of this condition aims at managing the symptoms and the majority of the affected individuals achieve a complete cure. However people who have suffered a polio attack at a very young age are likely to develop a condition called the post polio syndrome, which causes a lot of discomfort to the individual.
Prevention through vaccination holds the key to achieving a complete wipeout of the dreaded polio and several countries have achieved this feat. India too has embarked on elaborate immunization programme and was to a large extent able to control its debilitating spread.

Spreading awareness about the need for hygiene in backward areas followed by extensive and meticulous vaccination programmes will help to achieve a complete eradication of polio.
