Question
How to treat facial paralysis after waking up?
Answer
Facial paralysis is a common disease with rapid progression and is not affected by time or age. Symptoms include crooked mouth corners, eyes that won’t close, drooling, and facial distortion. Facial paralysis is often caused by factors such as regional colds and viral infections. It may be associated with viral infections such as the common cold. Most patients have a good prognosis and can recover completely. During the treatment process, early treatment primarily focuses on anti-inflammatory drugs and nerve nutrition, while later stages are mainly focused on rehabilitation therapy. For intractable cases, surgical treatment is also an option. Pediatric patients can try some folk remedies while receiving symptomatic treatment and should pay attention to dietary adjustments, avoiding the intake of irritating foods.
