Question
Can a child get facial paralysis after a fever?
Answer
Facial paralysis often does not occur with fever, but it can sometimes be associated with upper respiratory infections and other diseases. After diagnosis, active treatment should be pursued. In daily life, vitamins can be taken, and during the acute phase of facial paralysis, adrenergic receptor blockers such as ephedrine can be used to treat infections, along with symptomatic antiviral drugs like Xianping. Therefore, if a child frequently has fevers, it is recommended to go to the hospital for various checks to determine the cause, to prevent the child from developing facial paralysis, as treatment may be delayed by then. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
