Question
How should facial palsy be treated during the 37th week of pregnancy?
Answer
Facial palsy is generally caused by neuritis of the facial nerve, mainly due to inflammatory swelling of the facial nerve after a cold or exposure to cold, which leads to functional impairment of the area. Treatment focuses on enhancing regional inflammation reduction and swelling fading, as well as promoting the complete recovery of nerve function. For pregnant individuals, nutrients that nourish the nerves, such as B vitamins, can be taken. Massage, using hands to massage the affected facial muscles, is also an effective treatment method. Acupuncture is another excellent therapeutic approach.
