Patient's question:
I have facial paralysis and always feel very old, drooling a lot. Does getting infected with a virus cause low facial immunity, which then leads to transmitting this virus? What are the general causes of facial paralysis??Doctor's answer:
Chilling, viral infections (such as herpes zoster, herpes simplex, mumps, cytomegalovirus, etc.), and autonomic nervous system instability can lead to local neurotrophic vessel spasm, causing facial nerve brain edema, which in turn leads to facial paralysis. It is important to maintain a good mood: the best way to prevent facial paralysis is to pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life, ensuring sufficient deep sleep, and appropriately engaging in physical exercise to enhance the body's immunity.
