My child has polio affecting both legs and is crying due to pain. What should I do to relieve the pain?

Pain in a child with polio may be due to muscle strain, joint stress or nerve-related discomfort. Ensure proper rest, gentle positioning and avoid overuse of affected limbs. Light massage and physiotherapy under guidance can help reduce discomfort. Consult a doctor to check the cause and provide suitable treatment for relief.
