Patient's question:
Since coming back from traveling abroad last week, I've noticed that my facial muscles are a bit stiff. When I try to laugh, it seems like I can't. The doctor said I have facial paralysis. What should I avoid eating?Doctor's answer:
If you suspect you have facial paralysis, it is important to seek timely treatment, as it may lead to facial muscle anesthesia or stiffness. In terms of diet, it is advisable to avoid certain foods. Patients with facial paralysis should not consume foods or hot, nourishing supplements, as well as hot foods, alcohol, and tobacco. Additionally, avoid lamb, dog meat, animal organs, yellow croaker, garlic, and spicy foods. The above suggestions are for your reference and are hoped to be helpful to you.
