Patient's question:
My father got facial paralysis last week, and now he is very careful when eating. I want to understand what foods people with facial paralysis cannot eat.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, in most cases, facial paralysis is caused by viral infection that damages nerves. The virus attacks the nerves, leading to nerve root edema, controlling the nerves, and resulting in facial paralysis. Generally, oral antiviral drugs and nerve-nourishing medications can be used. At the same time, acupuncture treatment works well. The diet should be light, with more vegetables and fruits, digestive vitamins, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods. A light diet is recommended.
