Question
I spent the whole day outside yesterday, blowing cold wind all day, and this morning I woke up to find I have facial palsy. How should one treat facial palsy caused by cold wind exposure?
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to explain your situation. Patients with facial neuralgia in the acute stage require active treatment, which typically includes nutritional support for the nerves, antiviral medications, and low-dose hormone therapy. This is complemented by acupuncture and physical therapy, with most patients expected to fully recover within two months. It is important to prevent cold exposure, avoid direct air conditioning or fan blows to the body, especially the face, and try to stay indoors during windy and cold weather.
