Patient's question:
Today I noticed that my husband's right corner of the mouth is a bit crooked, while the left side is fine, it seems like Bell's palsy. How can the paralyzed side of the face be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, Bell's palsy is related to factors such as cold exposure, blowing cold wind, and viral infections. The main symptoms include mouth and incomplete eyelid closure. It is recommended to go to the neurology department of a hospital for a thorough examination. After diagnosis, treatments such as nerve nutrition, corticosteroids, and antiviral medications can be used. At the same time, therapies like cold compresses, mugwort steam therapy, and acupuncture should be combined. Pay attention to preventing cold exposure and avoid getting chilled. When going out, wear a mouth guard or scarf. Do not eat spicy, extremely cold, or hard foods. Wishing you good health.
