Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your grandmother's symptoms.

We need more details regarding her illness to help you understand better regarding the treatment options.

What was the cause of her paralysis? Was it brain stroke? If possible, please upload the scan reports.

If the paralysis is due to brain stroke, then, complete cure may not be possible. However, with good physiotherapy and exercises, her strength can be partly restored.

Please check about "aptron" tablets, as i am not sure about it. Dexona is a steroid used to reduce the brain swelling.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
