Question
My mother is 57 years old and she recently developed facial paralysis. I would like to ask, can patients with facial paralysis drink beer?
Answer
According to your description, it is okay for the patient to drink alcohol in very small amounts, but it is not recommended for them to consume alcohol excessively, as it can easily lead to alcohol intoxication, which can have a significant impact on the body. Patients with facial paralysis can visit a regular hospital’s neurology department for follow-up consultations, and use methods such as acupuncture and massage, which can be complemented by microwave therapy. Patients should pay attention to preventing wind and coldness in their daily lives, go to bed early and wake up early without working overtime, and engage in outdoor activities as much as possible within their capabilities.
