How to treat facial nerve palsy in a 17-year-old child

Patient's question:

Facial neuritis that occurred around one year old

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you go to the neurosurgery department of a Class III-A hospital or the neurosurgery department of a Class III-A traditional Chinese medicine hospital for examination and treatment. If the effect of drug treatment is not good, surgery can be considered. If the nerve function cannot be restored through electromyography, facial nerve decompression surgery can be considered. The specific situation should be determined based on the doctor's examination results.
Children have weaker immunity, so they are more prone to pediatric neurosurgery conditions. For parents, it is important not to panic and should promptly take their children to a Class III-A hospital for examination and treatment. Additionally, regular check-ups should be conducted for the child, and symptomatic treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
