Patient's question:
I stayed outside all day yesterday and blew wind all day. This morning when I came down, I found I had facial paralysis. How do you treat facial paralysis caused by cold wind?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I am glad to explain your question. In the acute phase of facial nerve palsy, active treatment should be provided, which generally includes nerve nutrition, antiviral therapy, and low-dose hormone treatment. At the same time, acupuncture and physical therapy should be combined. Most patients can fully recover within two months. In daily life, it is important to prevent exposure to cold. Avoid air conditioners or fans blowing directly on the body, especially the face. If it is windy and cold, try to stay indoors as much as possible.
