No, there is no antibiotic that will get rid of the polio germs but there is a vaccine that I would strongly recommend getting. However, the vaccine will not cure the Polio when you have it, it will prevent you getting Polio again.

∙ 13y agoAnti viral drugs exist. Vaccines which prevent polio are far better. Why anyone would risk death or being paralyzed for life when vaccines have been taken for years with virtually no side effects, is beyond me.
Approximately two years after the live vaccination became available, a few people caught polio from it. The problem was quickly solved and no problems have occurred since. All other accusations have been lies. The vaccine has been used in the United States and Europe starting in 1956 and has not caused sterility. Opposition to it makes no sense.

∙ 12y agoNo it is not. I am a member of the high school academic team in my school and in advanced science. Polio is one of the very few incurable diseases.
Yes, polio is treatable, meaning that its symptoms can be treated. No, it is not curable. There is a difference.

∙ 8y agoNo. It is not a cure or a medicine to treat polio but a vaccine that gets the body ready by producing antibodies against the virus so that when you are exposed to it your body will be ready and it kill the ones that enter the body. Vaccines are like having full body armor that an enemy can not get through.

∙ 9y agoNo, because polio is a virus and viruses cannot be treated with antibiotics, only bacteria can (well, most of them).
