Question

What are the treatment methods for facial palsy, and can anyone share their experiences?

Answer

The treatment methods for facial palsy include:

  1. In the absence of contraindications, corticosteroid therapy can be used, such as dexamethasone 5-10 mg administered intravenously or prednisolone 20 mg taken orally once daily, after which the hormone is discontinued after one week.
  2. If a viral herpesvirus infection is suspected, additional antiviral treatment with acyclovir is required, such as taking acyclovir tablets at a dose of 0.2 mg, three to five times daily, for 7 to 10 days.
