Question
How should pediatric facial paralysis be treated?
Answer
Your child’s condition may be peripheral facial nerve palsy. It is recommended to seek timely treatment, which can involve a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, including acupuncture, medium-frequency therapy, and Western medicine such as galantamine and Vitamin B12 for nerve nourishment. Furthermore, you can try applying fresh blood from snakehead fish to the affected side of the face, and be sure to wear a mask, drop eye drops to protect the conjunctiva, avoid washing your face with cold water and blowing cold wind, and avoid eating foods that may worsen the condition. Once symptoms are detected in your child, it is immediate to bring them to a regular hospital for consultation and pay attention to their dietary issues.
