Question

My sister-in-law discovered a drooping right corner of her mouth during pregnancy and was diagnosed with facial paralysis. She inquires whether she can consume soy products.

Answer

A pregnant woman with facial paralysis caused by herpes simplex virus can eat soy products. Since she is pregnant, it is advisable to avoid using corticosteroids to prevent any potential impact on the fetus. However, providing corticosteroid treatment for the treatment of facial paralysis will not affect the recovery of the condition.
