Home Treatment
If you think you might have Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), call your doctor or seek immediate medical attention.
After having Guillain-Barré syndrome, you may have to wait several months before you can return to your regular daily activities. Support at home is important during this time. You may need temporary help with some of your activities and chores. Also, you can strengthen your weakened muscles by exercising regularly. Talk to your doctor about exercising during your recovery.
