Question
A friend of mine is a young and energetic guy, 28 years old, who graduated with a master’s degree three or four years ago. He has a decent job, but it’s quite busy. Recently, on his way home after school, he accidentally fell asleep in the car while the window was open. When he woke up, he had facial paralysis. A nurse friend advised him not to be paralyzed. I would like to ask what are the symptoms of facial paralysis?
Answer
Hello, there is no such thing as Yang’s facial paralysis. It is currently divided into central facial nerve palsy and peripheral facial nerve palsy. Based on the patient’s description, it is likely that peripheral facial nerve palsy caused by cold wind stimulation. During the acute phase, oral corticosteroids, nerve-nourishing medications can be taken to reduce inflammation and swelling of the facial nerve, promote nerve repair, and at the same time, acupuncture and physical therapy can be provided.
