Because there is no cure for mononucleosis, a proper diet and supplements, plus adequate rest, are especially important for this disorder.\n\nMononucleosis Recommendations\nEat a diet composed of at least 50 percent raw foods.\n\nConsume as much of your food as possible raw.

Very carefully!\n\nThey will generally get a number of nurses to assist and do a "log roll" where the patient's spine and neck is all supported and kept in alignment as they are rolled.

depends on the cause but the fact the leg is regaining movement and the shoulder has some movement too is very hopeful.  childrens neurones have the ability to rewire them selves so u must continue exercises that should have been given to u at time of diagnosis.  keep up the muscle tone and prevent hypertonia (spasms) or hypotonia (floppy)this can be achieved by useing correctly fitted splints especially on the wrists. if the muscles spasms it is very hard to correct so is very important.  secondly the childs mental state about the condition is critical, maybe short term anti depressents will be required, but aim to keep up motivation about what child can do, not what they cant. get child into normal life asap.

IF you are CERTAIN it is infectious then yes, you do have a right to ask her not to come in as you have a legal obligation to protect the health and safety of ALL your staff. However, be very, very careful because your 'self-diagnosis' over the internet is NOT acceptable as "proof". If you have access to an Occupational Health department/ adviser, you should ask them to intervene in this case.

Hey, first of all you should know that guillain- Barré syndrome has many presentations and different clinical forms, all which have a different prognosis. The fact that your mother had to be put on the respirator in the ICU means she had a severe type of this syndrome. Plasmapheresis is an adequate treatment and she seems to be making progress but still it could be a few more weeks before she doesn't need the respiratory support.You should ask the specific questions you are posting to your mother's doctor as he knows the case, still he might not be able to answer everything you want to know. You have to be patient!! i hope your mom recovers soon!

First you must consult a good paediatrist and a neurologist. They would prescribe the exact medication. Thereafter some regular exercising to provide limb mobility and coordination, which should be done by a specialized physiotherapist. \n\nI suggest you consult All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS, New Delhi)

I think you're refering to Guillain Barre Syndrom. The Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in its classic form is an acute idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness and areflexia, usually associated with spontaneous remission. It has an annual incidence of 0.6 to 2.4 cases per 100,000 population, and occurs at all ages and in both sexes. With the marked decline in the incidence of polio, the GBS is now the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in healthy people.

I am not a nurse and can only answer as a mother. I presume that you are asking about keeping the child still in order to give innoculations. For  infants, the nurse encourages the mother to feed the child (breast or bottle )as the nurse prepares the area and give the injection.  Mom holds the child securely in the lap.\n\nFor older children, toddler to 5 or 6 the child is usually held in the lap and distracted as much as possible, but usually is told that this will hurt a little bit. It depends on the child's personality, and usually the parent knows how best to handle thier child.\n\nSometimes more help is needed, but most older children have enough self control and understand that this is for their health.

Sometimes the doctor gives cortisone injections to the affected area. Sometimes they use intermittent neck traction or a cervical collar. This usually consists of a halter-like device placed on the head and neck and attached to pulleys and weights.\n\nFor severe cases, hospitalization with complete bedrest and traction for 1 or 2 weeks may be needed. Narcotic medicine or muscle relaxants may help to reduce pain. Surgical decompression of the spinal cord in the neck may be recommended for severe pain or for significant loss of movement, sensation, or function.\n\nSurgical procedures may involve removal of bone and disc tissue which are pinching the nerves of the spinal cord and stabilization of the neck by fusing the cervical vertebrae.\n\nMost patients with cervical spondylosis will have some chronic symptoms, but they respond to non-operative interventions and do not require surgery.

I am in the US and here they would treat gall bladder problems by removing it(surgically) and possibly the same with the section of the bowel. I would say right now your mum needs to drink lots of water if she can tolerate it this will help with kidneys and bowel issues. Also a diet high in fiber will help a little withthe bowel. Exercise and a good diet(low fat high fiber protien rich) will help her in her recovery as will a good vitamin supplement.\n\nShe has so many things going on in her body I would imagine this will take some time to be corrected. Talk to the doctor who is treating your mum(or possibly a nurse in the office) and see if he has further suggestions for you and her.\n\nBest wishes and good luck to you both!
