Question
I recently discovered that I have facial paralysis, which affects my daily life. How should it be treated?
Answer
Facial paralysis is a condition caused by facial neuritis, with common causes including viral infections, exposure to cold, and overexertion. The main symptoms include facial distortion and inability to fully close the eyelids. Treatment methods include the use of antiviral medications, nerve-nourishing supplements, corticosteroids, and can be supplemented with acupuncture and cold compress therapy. Generally, full recovery can be achieved within three months. During treatment, please ensure adequate rest, avoid consuming cold, greasy, and fatty foods, and keep warm to prevent the cold. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
