Question
What precautions should patients with facial paralysis take during sleep?
Answer
Patients with facial paralysis should maintain good air circulation, appropriate temperature and humidity in the bedroom, and avoid exposure to wind and cold. Generally, there are no specific recommendations, but they should try not to compress the affected area to prevent any disruption in blood circulation. In daily life, it is important to take cold-avoidance measures, wear masks when going out to protect the face from the cold wind. Additionally, adjusting dietary habits is essential; avoid spicy or irritating foods that can cause inflammation. Moreover, emotional support and encouragement from family members are very important as they help patients maintain an optimistic attitude and actively treat the disease.
