What are the main causes of facial paralysis and how can it be prevented from occurring?

Patient's question:

Just yesterday, I felt my tongue was numb when speaking, and my mouth wasn't comfortable either when eating. Could it be that I have facial paralysis? What are the early symptoms of facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

It is necessary to perform local massage, heat application, closed treatment, acupuncture, and other therapies for facial paralysis. Oral Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis should also be taken.
Advice: Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods that may irritate the condition. If the effect is not satisfactory, minimally invasive surgical treatment (nerve transection) should be considered at the hospital.
