Can people with facial paralysis drink alcohol?

Patient's question:

I had a period of time when my nerves weren't doing well and I developed facial paralysis. I want to ask how long after facial paralysis can one drink beer?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you explained, it is not advisable to drink beer during the treatment for facial paralysis. Even if you have fully recovered, you should wait at least one to two months before drinking beer, otherwise it may worsen the facial paralysis and trigger a recurrence. For facial paralysis, it is important to avoid spicy, irritating, extremely cold, and pungent foods, such as chili peppers, raw scallions, garlic, onions, mutton, dog meat, etc. Your diet should be warm, light, and easy to digest. Pay attention to preventing colds and avoid exposure to cold air or drafts. Use warm water for bathing and washing. When going outside, wear a mask, hat, and scarf. Wishing you good health.
