Question
My husband has symptoms of facial paralysis and hasn’t been eating much lately. I’d like to ask what kind of food is good for healing facial paralysis quickly?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to explain your question. Facial paralysis, clinically referred to as Bell’s palsy, is often caused by viral infections that attack the facial nerve. The main treatments include antiviral medications, nerve nutrition, corticosteroids, B vitamins, and physical therapy and acupuncture. In terms of diet, avoid spicy or irritating foods and consume more foods rich in calcium and B-complex vitamins. Bell’s palsy has a long course of illness, so it’s important to maintain a good mood, ensure adequate deep sleep, and persist with comprehensive treatment.
