No there are only a few chances of this birth.
The child should be given polio drops.

I believe what you mean to ask is that if a man who had polio, and who has residual muscular weakness left in one leg could be the father of healthy children. The answer is of course, yes. Polio is a disease that you survive, not one that you carry for life ever after. It may leave residual damage, which can’t be repaired- but you no longer have the actual disease. So you don’t have anything to be concerned about. Your children would be born much as any other children are born- with dear little faces and bare behinds, beloved by both parents. And they would recieve polio vaccinations in infancy, which would protect them from ever having the disease which afflicted their father.

No problem at all.Polio is not a communicable disease so the mother will bear a normal child from a polio effected father.

You are probably too old to have children since the cure for polio was found 50 years ago.

Polio – short for poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis is an acute viral disease that may include central nervous system involvement and result in paralysis and/or muscle atrophy.

Polio is primarily a disease of infants and children.

Although it’s a contagious disease; it’s not hereditary or genetic. So a a parent afflicted with polio can have normal healthy offspring.

the man got polio in childhood by infection
his children will never get polio fron him
they can get polio from water or food if it is contaminated with polio virus
that is very rare becoz of vaccination of childrn or even without vaccine becoz many countries r polio free due to pulse polio drive

Yes, it is not a genetic problem and is rather due to infection by the polio virus easy prevention by polio vaccination
