Does taking folic acid cause facial paralysis symptoms?

Patient's question:

I started taking folic acid when I was pregnant, but only took one tablet and ended up with facial paralysis on the third day. Could it have been caused by taking folic acid? As a result of treating the facial paralysis, I didn't end up having my child. Now that my facial paralysis has been treated, I want to have another child, but I'm afraid to take folic acid again! Hello, can I take folic acid?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this should not be much related to folic acid. If you are really worried, you can skip taking it as well. Folic acid is mainly targeted at those with unbalanced diets, so as long as your diet is normal, the amount of folic acid you get is sufficient. I suggest you pay more attention to your diet and nutrition, and eat more green leafy vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are rich in folic acid, which is no worse than medication.
Wishing you good health and good luck. In addition to treatment, it's important to maintain a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for recovery.
