Question
My grandfather has experienced a mild case of facial paralysis again. Now that the paralysis has been treated and healed, is there a chance of recurrence?
Answer
Facial paralysis can recur even after healing and has a certain genetic predisposition. Some individuals may be affected by their parents’ history of facial paralysis in their youth, which increases the risk of developing the condition. Additionally, the unique anatomy of the face may also influence the risk of developing the disease. The main preventive measures for the recurrence of facial paralysis include avoiding exposure to cold, enhancing body resistance to prevent viral infections, promptly treating systemic diseases that may cause facial paralysis, maintaining warmth and emotional stability, and avoiding foods that may trigger facial paralysis.
