Question
This morning, my friend suddenly felt numbness in her face, and her mouth was twisted severely. I accompanied her to the hospital for an emergency check-up, and the doctor diagnosed it as facial paralysis. I would like to ask medical professionals for recommendations on medication treatment for facial paralysis. Please inform me, and I will be grateful.
Answer
If facial paralysis symptoms occur, they usually result in facial numbness, mouth distortion, increased tear production, and drooling while washing the face. It may also be accompanied by a decrease in taste sensation on the tongue. For treatment, dexamethasone can be taken, along with B vitamins, and consider traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture therapy. Please follow the doctor’s instructions for medication use.
