Question
My spouse has suddenly developed a lopsided mouth and keeps drooling. A medical check-up revealed it’s acute facial paralysis. How should acute facial paralysis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for facial paralysis includes: 1. Medication: For peripheral facial paralysis caused by facial neuritis, antiviral drugs, nerve nutrients, corticosteroids, and vitamin B can be used to treat viral infections; 2. Physical Therapy: Such as short-wave therapy, medium and low-frequency electrical therapy, laser therapy, and drug infusion; 3. Acupuncture Therapy; 4. Surgical Treatment: For patients with facial paralysis that has not recovered after rigorous treatment for three months, surgical treatment can be considered. These are the suggestions for this question; I hope they are helpful.
