Patient's question:
Hello doctor, in the recent period, my friend suffered from facial paralysis, which is also known as crooked eyes and mouth. It looked very painful, and I felt a bit heartbroken for her. I would like to ask the doctor a few questions on her behalf about the causes and treatments for facial paralysis. I hope the doctor can see this and help my friend. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
A friend has developed facial paralysis, and the symptoms of mouth and eye have reappeared. Facial paralysis is usually related to exposure to wind in the presence of cross drafts, but it could also be related to a viral infection. It is recommended to visit the neurology department of the hospital for follow-up treatment, using antiviral medications, nerve nutrition, and corticosteroids, among other treatments. Local cold compresses, massage, and physical therapy can also be performed. Acupuncture can also be considered as a treatment option. The above information can serve as a reference.
