Question
What should I do if I have facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial paralysis is often caused by a stroke, which may be due to brain inflammation, vascular diseases, or neurological disorders. Treatment can include antiviral medications and nerve-nourishing drugs, along with regional heat therapy, massage, and acupuncture as physical therapies. It’s also important to avoid stress and overexertion. If symptoms do not subside, it is recommended to consult a neurology department in a regular hospital for a follow-up examination.
