Question
Doctor, my child has been diagnosed with facial paralysis, but I know very little about this condition. What are the causes of baby facial paralysis?
Answer
The causes of facial paralysis are diverse, potentially including congenital factors, acquired infections, and psychological trauma. Once facial paralysis symptoms are detected, it is important to seek professional medical assistance as soon as possible. It is recommended that you take your child to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination so that specific treatment can be followed according to the specific cause. This may include the use of nutritional nerve and antiviral medications, as well as combined therapies such as acupuncture. It is also essential to ensure proper warmth for the child to avoid catching a cold or wind chill. Encourage your child to consume more vegetables and fruits to actively supplement vitamins. Moreover, it is advisable to avoid giving your child overly cold or irritating foods. When facing pediatric diseases, we should actively seek treatment rather than avoid seeking medical attention. If the treatment for facial paralysis is not effective, it is important to adjust the treatment plan promptly.
