Question
Last month, I went to see a friend who has been experiencing persistent facial pain. They were hospitalized and diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, but now they are feeling better. However, the pain in their face continues. How can facial pain caused by Bell’s palsy be treated?
Answer
Based on past clinical experience, your symptoms appear to be indicative of residual Bell’s palsy. It is recommended that you undergo a comprehensive evaluation and treatment at a hospital. The main reasons for the recurrence of facial paralysis are a decrease in the immune function of the facial nerve and a microcirculatory obstruction in the facial nerve. In cases where the facial nerve’s immunity is low, facial paralysis can be triggered by factors such as emotions or colds. These are my suggestions for this issue, and I hope they are helpful to you.
