Question

My mother is 57 years old and she recently developed facial paralysis. I would like to ask, can a person with facial paralysis drink beer?

Answer

According to your description, it is okay for patients to drink alcohol in very small amounts. However, it is not recommended for patients to consume alcohol excessively, as this may easily lead to alcohol intoxication, which can have a significant impact on the body. Patients with facial paralysis can visit a regular hospital’s neurology department for follow-up consultations, and use methods such as acupuncture and massage, in conjunction with microwave therapy. Patients should also pay attention to preventing wind and coldness, get enough sleep, wake up early, avoid overtime work, and engage in outdoor activities within their ability whenever possible.
