Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! My sister suddenly had facial paralysis in August, and later she received treatment in the hospital. Yesterday, it recurred again. I want to know how to deal with the sequelae of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of Bell's palsy is a viral infection that affects our trigeminal nerve, leading to peripheral edema of the trigeminal nerve. In treatment, during the acute phase, corticosteroids are first used to reduce nerve edema. Third, vitamin therapy is employed to nourish the nerves. Additional treatments such as traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture can be. However, if the condition frequently recurs, it is likely that the patient has other underlying causes. I recommend that you consult a neurology department for further diagnosis and treatment.
