Question
Do facial paralysis patients need to pay special attention to their sleep position during the noon break?
Answer
When taking a nap, facial paralysis patients should try to avoid pressing on the affected side of their face and keep the facial muscles relaxed. Do not open the window while sleeping to prevent direct cold wind from air conditioning, and be mindful not to let the room temperature drop too low. When going out, wear a mask, hat, or scarf to avoid cold water washing the face or consuming spicy, cold, or raw foods. Combination therapy with nutritional nerve drugs and acupuncture treatment can be considered. Wishing you good health!
