Question
What foods should pediatric patients with facial paralysis avoid during medication?
Answer
During medication, patients with facial paralysis should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as scallions, garlic, ginger, wasabi, chili peppers, and other foods containing capsaicin. They should also avoid grilled meats, fried foods, dried foods, and carbonated beverages, and instead consume more fruits and vegetables. Proper dietary care can actively promote the patient’s recovery, whereas incorrect diet may cause unnecessary harm to the patient’s body.
