Question
Can hot salt water compress treat facial paralysis?
Answer
In addition to regular care, patients should also consume calcium and vitamin B1 in their diet, which is beneficial for facial nerve diseases. Calcium not only helps with bones and intelligence but also can enhance normal muscle and nerve function. Since patients with facial nerve diseases mainly suffer from facial nerve conduction disorders leading to muscle atrophy, consuming calcium is very important. Foods rich in calcium include pork ribs, deep green vegetables, egg yolks, seaweed, sesame seeds, fruits, carrots, watermelons, and dairy products.
