Question
What medications can be taken for mild facial paralysis?
Answer
Mild facial paralysis is often caused by exposure to cold or a cold breeze, and treatment may include local cold compresses, massage, acupuncture, and physical therapy. Additionally, oral medications such as galantamine and vitamin B1, which nourish the nerves, can be taken. Patients should avoid cold exposure and wear masks and scarves when going out, and avoid washing their face with cold water.
