Emergency Medicine Specialist, Dr. Prathap's Response
paralytic people the main stay of treatment is physiotherapy and medication. it is better if he could start on physiotherapy but if he s not doing then at least bed to chair mobilization. Prevent bed sores and maintain proper toilet hygiene. Nutrition is also very important.
