Question

How can facial paralysis be effectively treated?

Answer

Facial paralysis primarily results from facial neuritis, leading to weakness in the facial muscles, with main symptoms including mouth twitches, eye deviations, and abnormal expressions. Facial neuritis can be categorized as either central or peripheral, so treatment should target the underlying cause. The foundation of treatment is to thoroughly eliminate neural edema to alleviate symptoms. Early treatment is crucial for the complete recovery of the condition.
