What should I do if the facial muscles twitch after Bell's palsy?

Patient's question:

I have been dealing with facial paralysis for three months now, and it hasn't fully healed yet. The facial muscles often feel numb, and they also twitch. What should I do about the twitching of facial muscles after facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, facial muscle twitching reappears on the waybill. It is necessary to consider facial muscle spasms. Most cases of facial muscle spasms are related to facial nerve compression and abnormal nerve pulses. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a follow-up visit to confirm the diagnosis. If diagnosed with facial muscle spasms, botulinum toxin can be locally injected into the muscles to inhibit the transmission of nerve guilt and relieve the recurrence of twitching. If the effect is not satisfactory, surgical treatment can also be considered.
