Patient's question:
Auntie suddenly got facial paralysis a month ago, her eyes are slanted to one side. She's also crying with the facial paralysis. What could be the reason?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Bell's palsy is a non-specific inflammation of the facial nerve, leading to the collapse of facial muscles, often causing symptoms such as difficulty closing the eyes and crooked mouth corners. To protect the affected eye, you need to use erythromycin eye drops during the day to prevent the recurrence of conjunctivitis. Most importantly, it is essential to take measures to protect the face from cold. Cold compresses can be applied to the face to improve blood circulation and alleviate symptoms of muscle collapse.
