Question
How should facial paralysis be treated?
Answer
In clinical practice, most patients with facial paralysis can recover, but the disease is prone to recurrence. Daily self-care should be paid attention to. When the temperature drops suddenly, it is important to protect the area behind the ears promptly and avoid catching a cold. Sometimes, patients with refractory facial paralysis are encountered, who are usually elderly diabetics or hypertension patients who do not pay attention to controlling blood sugar and blood pressure. These patients should control their underlying diseases while treating facial paralysis to promote complete recovery.
