Question
What Western medications can facial paralysis patients take?
Answer
For peripheral facial nerve palsy caused by facial neuritis, treatments can include antiviral drugs, nerve-nourishing agents, corticosteroids, and B vitamins. Additionally, physical therapy methods such as short-wave therapy, medium-low frequency electrotherapy, laser therapy, and drug infusion can be adopted. For exposed eyelids, eye masks, eye drops, or ointments should be used to protect them, and patients are encouraged to self-massage their facial muscles to promote recovery.
