Patient's question:
I got facial paralysis last month. How should I treat this condition?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, in the treatment of facial paralysis, it is first necessary to determine whether it is central facial paralysis or periodic facial paralysis. Then, a definitive diagnosis of the cause of the facial paralysis should be made, and symptomatic treatment should be administered. Only after a clear diagnosis of the cause can treatment be carried out. Facial paralysis caused by viral infection requires antiviral treatment and hormone treatment. Facial paralysis caused by trauma or cholesteatoma requires surgical treatment. Patients should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as coarse grains such as beans, pumpkin, corn, jujubes, bitter melon, etc.
