Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience facial muscle tremors. How can facial muscle twitch be treated?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered that the facial muscle spasm is caused by facial nerve palsy, leading to the observed manifestations. Treatment should involve visiting a neurology department, where options include acupuncture, infrared physical therapy, and medication to nourish the nerves, as well as surgical treatment.If the facial nerve palsy does not recover after three months of conservative treatment, and tests such as facial nerve conduction velocity and electromyography of the facial muscles show no response or electrical activity, surgical treatment may be considered.
