Patient's question:
I found out at the hospital after a thorough examination that I have facial paralysis, and this condition has recurred. Hello, what causes facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It's a pleasure to serve you. Based on the situation you described, Bell's palsy is caused by factors such as cold exposure, drafts, viral infections, and overexertion. The main symptoms include facial drooping, inability to close one eyelid, difficulty eating, and drooling when drinking. You can visit the neurology department of a hospital for follow-up treatment. Oral antiviral and neurotrophic medications can be taken, along with cold compresses, acupuncture, and physical therapy. Rest and avoid spicy, cold, and raw foods. Pay attention to preventing colds, avoid opening windows while taking a nap, and wear masks, hats, and scarves when going outdoors. Wishing you good health!
