Patient's question:
Last night I wore too little and ended up catching a cold. Later, it even led to facial paralysis. How do you treat facial paralysis caused by a cold?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy, also known as facial nerve palsy, is related to viral infections. Since colds are caused by viral infections, Bell's palsy is most commonly seen after a cold. It is recommended to use antiviral and neurotrophic drugs under the guidance of a doctor to treat it, with a treatment course generally lasting about two weeks. During the recovery period, acupuncture and physical therapy can be used in conjunction for treatment. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
