Question

What are the main causes and preventive measures for facial paralysis?

Answer

The treatment principles for facial paralysis primarily involve improving regional blood circulation, reducing the swelling of the facial nerve, and promoting functional recovery. In terms of Western medicine treatment, corticosteroids such as prednisone can be taken orally, and in case of abnormal blood counts, antibiotics may be needed. If the lymphocyte count is high, antiviral drugs should be used in conjunction. However, there are certain risks associated with Western medicine treatment, and it must be used under a doctor’s guidance.
