Question
How should one handle facial paralysis?
Answer
Patients with facial paralysis should undergo treatment as soon as possible after consultation, as early treatment tends to be more effective. Treatment typically includes the use of low-dose oral corticosteroids and nutritional nerve medications, and sometimes may involve acupuncture and rehabilitation therapy. At the same time, the possibility of viral infection should be considered, and antiviral medications may be used if necessary. Delayed treatment may lead to residual symptoms. Patients should also actively participate in sports training, adjust their mental and physical health, and maintain personal hygiene.
