Three kids aged 8, 12 and 14 years were suffering from Guillain-Barre syndrome with Bulbar Palsy who were treated by HoD Dr. Devendra Sareen and his team including Dr. Gaurav Ameta, Dr. Rajesh Jain and Dr. Rajiv at Geetanjali Hospital. 

Dr. Sareen informed that residents of Neemach and Pratapgarh, Nikita Sharma (14), Ayush Sen (12) and Piyush Dhakad (8) were suffering from paralysis in hands and legs due to which the muscles became inactive and there were respiratory problems as well. The kids were kept under ventilator and were given antivirus injections with IV fluids so that minerals and water enters the body in adequate amount.

After 10 days they were removed from ventilator and the kids saw improvement in their speech, strength in muscles. They are given nutrients and daily exercise regime to help them walk again.

What is Guillan Barre Syndrome with Bulbar Palsy?

This disease occurs due to the side effects of cough-cold virus which directly attacks the nerves of the body and makes them paralytic. In Bulbar Palsy, water intake from mouth comes out of the nose and the speech is hampered. In this case, the kid’s one hand or leg had become paralytic with weak speech and problem in water intake.
