After a traffic accident, Uncle was diagnosed with facial paralysis, and his family is very worried.
Answer
Facial paralysis, also known as Bell’s palsy, is a typical facial disorder characterized by eye deviation and mouth distortion. Patients with facial paralysis are unable to perform basic facial movements such as raising eyebrows, closing eyes, puffing cheeks, or sticking out their tongues. Once facial paralysis occurs, it is crucial to seek treatment promptly to avoid delaying the condition and causing complications. The primary goal of treating facial paralysis is to improve the microcirculation of capillaries in the affected area, repair damaged facial neurons, and restore facial muscle function. Currently, the Trigeminal Neuralgia Comprehensive Rehabilitation Therapy can be used for treatment. In daily life, it is important to avoid stress, ensure adequate rest and quality sleep, quit smoking and drinking, and prevent catching a cold to aid in recovery.
