Patient's question:
What medications or diet can be used to alleviate the symptoms of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Dietary Therapy: Since the occurrence of facial paralysis is related to a lack of vitamins in the body, facial paralysis patients can supplement more vitamins in their daily lives. At the same time, they should pay attention to a balanced diet, avoid overeating, excessive alcohol consumption, and picky eating, as well as alcohol poisoning. Facial paralysis patients can consume more wind-dissipating porridge, which can help dispel wind, relieve external pathogens, and dispel cold, being very beneficial for facial paralysis caused by wind-cold invasion. Mint candies have the effect of clearing wind and relieving external pathogens, which are very helpful in treating sudden mouth and eye deviation, incomplete eyelid closure, and dry throat with slight thirst. Frequently cooking fish heads with Chuanxiong and Baizhi water has the effects of dispelling wind, dispelling cold, invigorating blood circulation, and unblocking collaterals, which is very beneficial for treating facial paralysis caused by external wind pathogens.
