Question
A patient with facial paralysis inquired about how to proceed with care after experiencing recurrent episodes following recovery. The patient has been suffering from facial paralysis for four years and has developed Sequelae. They appear normal when not speaking, but their smile is uneven, with one side of the face unable to lift and eyebrows unable to rise, accompanied by a heavy sensation.
Answer
Firstly, strengthening one’s physical condition is crucial for restoring the facial muscle function of the patient. In the care of facial paralysis, it is advisable to consume less greasy and indigestible foods, and more vegetables, fruits, as well as rice, noodles, and coarse grains to maintain energy supply and enhance immunity. Appropriate exercise is also indispensable for patients with facial paralysis.
