What should I do if my son, who is six months old, gets facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

My baby is already 6 and a half months old. Yesterday, I noticed that the left side of my child's face seemed not to move. I quickly took him to the hospital, and they said it was facial paralysis. My son is 6 and a half months old, and the left side of his face is not moving. The doctor said it's facial paralysis. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, a child around 6 months old has experienced muscle twitching in the left facial area again. It could be facial paralysis caused by a cold, or it might be symptoms of peripheral neuritis. Pay close attention to the child's specific symptoms and take them to the hospital for further examination and diagnosis. Based on the examination results, use medication to regulate nerve function in a timely manner. If necessary, acupuncture, physiotherapy, and massage may be required.
