What is the general treatment plan for facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

The face is closer and I don't know what's wrong. Suddenly stiff and unable to move, very painful. It looks like facial paralysis. What is the treatment plan for facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

This condition is usually peripheral facial paralysis, related to exposure to cold wind or cooling. It is necessary to immediately take measures to protect the face from cold, such as wearing a mask or scarf to protect the facial nerves. Go to a regular hospital for follow-up treatment immediately. Generally, doctors will prescribe a certain amount of oral hormones to protect the nerves. You can wait for recovery after the acute phase or use acupuncture therapy, which involves piercing certain points on the face to help speed up recovery.
