Question
The 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite, with no significant abnormalities. However, she sometimes trembles. Could facial paralysis in children be treatable?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the child’s facial paralysis may be caused by post-traumatic conditions, or it could also be due to facial neuritis or facial nerve palsy. A detailed examination and testing at the hospital are necessary to determine the exact cause. Currently, some tonifying medications can be taken, and specific medication should be taken as prescribed by the doctor. In addition, physical treatments such as acupuncture can also be performed to help stabilize the symptoms.
