Patient's question:
I am 23 days postpartum today. When I was 19 days postpartum, I experienced pain in my right tonsil again. In the evening, I kept postponing taking a nap until the pain in my right ear persisted and I couldn't sleep. This morning while washing my face, I noticed swelling on my right cheek and drooling. I quickly went to the hospital and consulted the neurology department, where I was diagnosed with facial nerve palsy.Doctor's answer:
Acyclovir affects breast milk, so it's best to temporarily stop breastfeeding. The medication she prescribed is correct. There is no specific medicine for treating neuritis, and the combination includes hormones, antivirals, nerve nutrition, and stomach protection. Therefore, all these medications are necessary. You can first give the baby formula, and then make sure to empty your breasts regularly. If you don't, you may not have milk when you can breastfeed again.
