What causes facial paralysis?

Facial paralysis can be triggered by a variety of factors, including exposure to cold, wind, and viral infections. Patients may experience symptoms such as a drooping mouth, crooked eyes, saliva leakage from the corners of the mouth, eyelid spasms, and weakness in the facial muscles. Timely treatment can prevent the occurrence of sequelae. It is recommended to use treatments such as nerve nutrition, corticosteroids, antiviral drugs, and to complement physical therapy and acupuncture. Pay attention to staying warm in daily life and avoid consuming spicy, cold, and greasy foods. Wishing for a speedy recovery!
