Patient's question:
I took a nap and forgot to close the windows, which resulted in my face getting blown to one side. Upon examination, it was diagnosed as facial paralysis. What is the best treatment for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, your condition is facial paralysis caused by facial nerve cold exposure. In the acute phase of recurrent facial paralysis, treatment generally focuses on dehydration to reduce nerve edema, along with medications to control and nourish the facial nerve. Rehabilitation treatments such as acupuncture and electrotherapy usually begin from the fifth day. Pay attention to preventing cold exposure and protecting the facial skin. You can also massage the face and the nerves behind the ear to promote the complete recovery of the facial nerve. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
