Patient's question:
I came down this morning and suddenly felt my mouth and tongue were. The doctor said it might be facial paralysis. How is facial paralysis treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is a pleasure to provide you with services. Bell's palsy primarily manifests as facial muscle stiffness, drooping of the mouth and eyes, inability to close one eyelid, spilling food when eating, and leaking when drinking water. Based on the information you provided, the likelihood of you having Bell's palsy is very high. It is recommended to consult with a neurology department for further examination. After diagnosis, treatment with neurotrophic agents and antiviral medications can be administered, along with cold compresses and acupuncture. Rest is important, and avoid spicy, extremely cold, or greasy foods. Maintain a warm and easily digestible diet, avoid exposure to cold, wear a mask when going out, and wrap a scarf around your neck. Wishing you good health!
