Currently, there is no treatment for polio that can kill the poliovirus. Antibiotics or other medications for polio are not effective because polio is caused by a virus. Therefore, treatment for polio focuses on providing relief of polio symptoms as the body fights the poliovirus.This is called supportive care.upportive care as treatment for polio will depend on the symptoms of polio that a person experiences. For those with mild symptoms or aseptic meningitis, supportive care may include: 1  Fluids. 2  Medications (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) to control fever or pain. 3  Rest until the fever improves.
The World Health Organization recommends all children be vaccinated against polio. The two vaccines have eliminated polio from most of the world, and reduced the number of cases each year from an estimated 350,000 in 1988 to 74 in 2015. The inactivated polio vaccines are very safe. Mild redness or pain may occur at the site of injection.
