Question
My grandmother has facial paralysis and is currently in the recovery period. She says her ear hurts. Can the recovery period of facial paralysis cause ear pain?
Answer
Facial paralysis can be caused by various factors, such as colds, wind, viral infections, and cerebrovascular diseases. With timely and appropriate treatment, the condition will gradually improve and enter a recovery period. During this time, it is important for patients with facial paralysis to pay attention to increasing their intake of calcium. Calcium is not only beneficial for bone growth and intellectual development but also helps in restoring normal muscle and nerve function, which is very helpful for the treatment of muscle atrophy in patients with facial paralysis. Therefore, calcium supplementation is crucial. Patients can consume foods rich in calcium such as pork ribs, egg yolks, fruits, and dairy products. The neurorehabilitation therapy is a comprehensive evaluation therapy that combines special neurotrophic treatment, rehabilitation, and physical therapy. It takes special neurotrophic treatment as the core, uses rehabilitation and physical therapy to stabilize the efficacy, and is a new comprehensive evaluation, holistic, and systematic therapy.
