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.
PUVA (psoralen and ultraviolet A radiation) treatment has been used for decades to treat severe psoriasis. In this combination therapy, the psoralen, taken internally, acts as a skin sensitizer.The sensitized skin affected by psoriasis can then be treated by ultraviolet A radiation.UVA is also of benefit in treating vitiligo, mycosis fungoides (cutaneous T-cell lymphoma), and graft versus host disease. The most common form of therapy combines 8-methoxypsoralen taken by mouth followed 45-60 minutes later by exposure of the skin to UVA.
