Question
I recently developed facial paralysis, and my face has become somewhat stiff. I can’t make basic facial expressions, and even simple movements like smiling or closing my eyes are difficult. This has made me very distressed and I don’t like being touched by others. Hello, what precautions should I take for facial paralysis, and are there any secrets to dealing with facial diseases?
Answer
It is important to seek hospitalization and receive proper treatment in a timely manner. Do not delay treatment. After the onset of facial paralysis, attention should be paid to functional exercises such as raising eyebrows, tightly closing eyes, blowing air, opening the mouth wide, pouting, and using a warm, damp towel to warm the neck. Avoid extremely cold, greasy, spicy, and hard-hitting foods. Also, avoid hot tonics or foods such as tobacco, alcohol, lamb, dog meat, yellow croaker, chili peppers, etc. Maintain physical and mental health and keep personal hygiene. Avoid bacterial invasion due to decreased resistance.
