Question

Lately, I haven’t been eating much. I was wondering what foods are good for a facial paralysis patient to eat to recover faster?

Answer

Facial paralysis, clinically known as Bell’s palsy, is often caused by viral infections that attack and harm the facial nerve. Treatment mainly involves antiviral medications, nerve nutrition, corticosteroids, B-complex vitamins, and physical therapy and acupuncture. In terms of diet, avoid eating irritating foods and consume more foods rich in calcium and B-complex vitamins. The course of Bell’s palsy is long, so it’s important to maintain a good mood, ensure adequate deep sleep, and persist in comprehensive treatment.
