Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head but can roll over and has normal appetite with no other obvious abnormalities. However, they sometimes tremble, and the question is what kind of plaster should be used for facial paralysis.
Answer
When facial paralysis recurs, relying solely on regional plasters may not be effective. Treatment usually requires the use of medications that nourish the nerves. Facial paralysis is often associated with facial neuritis and must be treated promptly. Oral medications such as glatiramer acetate, vitamin B1, or intramuscular injections of vitamin B12 can be considered. Physical therapies like acupuncture and massage can also be considered, but one should not blindly rely on plasters.
