Question
What treatment methods should be used for facial paralysis?
Answer
Western medical treatment for facial paralysis primarily includes corticosteroid therapy and antiviral medication. The daily dietary care of patients with facial paralysis is also very important for the treatment of the disease. Since the disease affects taste and chewing function, it is important to encourage patients to eat and provide food that suits their taste, rich in nutrition, sweet and savory, light, easy to digest semi-liquid or soft foods. Avoiding spicy and extremely cold irritant products are also part of the facial paralysis care measures.
