Question
I have facial paralysis and a rash in my ear, what should I do?
Answer
Facial paralysis caused by earlobe herpes zoster often comes with severe ear pain. It is caused by the herpes zoster virus, leading to neuritis around the facial nerve. It is advised to visit an otolaryngologist promptly and undergo antiviral, nerve-nourishing, and vasodilating medication treatments under the doctor’s guidance.
