Patient's question:
Girl, 1 year old, recently found that my child has been having twitching. I am very worried. I would like to know, what is the cause of twitching on the left face?Doctor's answer:
Considering the high possibility of facial muscle spasms, it is recommended that you can take medication, such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, etc., or anesthetic botulinum toxin, which can effectively control it for a period of time. In severe cases, surgical treatment can be performed, such as facial nerve trunk resection and branch ligation, facial nerve decompression, and microvascular decompression. It is suggested that you seek medical treatment promptly and pay attention to preventing colds, getting adequate rest, avoiding emotional shocks, and maintaining a balanced diet with reduced intake of greasy and high-fat foods in daily life.
