Question
I started taking folic acid during my pregnancy, and after just one dose, on the third day, I experienced facial paralysis. Is it because of the folic acid? As a result, I had to abort my child because of the treatment for facial paralysis. Now that my facial paralysis has been treated, I want to have another child, but I’m afraid to take folic acid again! Can I take folic acid?
Answer
This should not have much to do with the intake of folic acid. If you’re concerned, you can avoid taking folic acid. Folic acid is mainly for those with imbalanced diets; as long as your diet is normal, the intake of folic acid should be sufficient. I suggest you pay more attention to your dietary nutrition, eat more green leafy vegetables, which are rich in folic acid and are not inferior to medication. During the treatment period, in addition to focusing on the treatment, also maintain a good mood, as a positive mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease. Wishing you good health and good luck!
