Question
I recently discovered that I have facial paralysis, and it interferes with my daily life every day. Hi, how do you treat facial paralysis?
Answer
Based on your description, facial paralysis is caused by neuritis of the facial nerve, often due to viral infection, exposure to cold, blowing cold wind, or overexertion. The main symptoms include mouth and eye deviation and incomplete eyelid closure. Treatment can involve antiviral, nerve-nourishing, and glucocorticoid medications, along with acupuncture, cold compress therapy, and other physical treatments. Generally, complete recovery can be achieved within three months. During this period, it is important to rest adequately, avoid eating extremely cold, greasy foods, be cautious of cold exposure, and wish for your swift recovery!
