Patient's question:
Recently I noticed that I have facial paralysis, which interferes with my life every day. Hello, how is facial paralysis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello:I’m very pleased to assist you. Based on the information you’ve provided, Bell’s palsy is a form of facial nerve inflammation, often caused by viral infections, exposure to cold, drafts, or overexertion. The main symptoms include facial drooping and incomplete eyelid closure. Medications such as antivirals, neurotrophic agents, and corticosteroids can be used, along with acupuncture and cold compress therapy. Generally, full recovery can be achieved within 3 months. During this period, it’s important to rest well, avoid extremely cold or greasy foods, and take precautions against cold exposure. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
