Patient's question:
My girlfriend has been expressionless for several days. I would like to inquire about the sleeping positions that need attention for people with facial paralysis.Doctor's answer:
Hello:I’m glad to assist you. Based on the issue you’ve mentioned, there are no specific recommendations for stroke patients to nap. It’s important to avoid putting pressure on the affected side of the face and keep the facial muscles relaxed. Do not open windows while sleeping, and avoid direct cold air from air conditioners on your face in the summer. The temperature of the air conditioner should not be set too low. When going outside, wear a mask, hat, and scarf. Avoid washing your face or brushing your teeth with cold water. Do not consume spicy or cold foods. You can take neurotrophic drugs and combine them with acupuncture treatment. Wishing you good health!
