Question
Where can one get good treatment for pediatric facial palsy?
Answer
Facial palsy can be treated in the neurology department of a regular hospital. The exact cause is still unclear. Symptoms such as one-sided facial paralysis, which can be caused by factors like colds, viral infections, and other causes leading to one-sided nerve paralysis, can be identified. One-sided glabella furrows may disappear, the nasolabial groove may become shallow, and the eyes may not close properly. It is recommended to pay attention to the child’s warmth, oral hygiene, and eye hygiene. Additionally, acyclovir, prednisone, intramuscular vitamin B1, and vitamin B12 injections can help alleviate symptoms.
