Patient's question:
My home has an elderly person who, in the recent period, suddenly started experiencing facial paralysis in the morning, followed by continuous drooling. They went to the hospital for treatment and were told they had viral facial paralysis. I would like to ask if viral facial paralysis can be cured?Doctor's answer:
Oral antiviral drug acyclovir, oral hormones, take continuously for 55 days, then stop completely. Do not focus on long-term bowel movements due to poor health, as this may lead to bowel problems. Before taking medication, check liver function and blood routine. Nerve nutrition drugs, such as vitamins, can be taken orally or anesthetically. Oral options include selinexor or mecobalamin. Appropriately consume diuretics, vasodilators, and aescin to thoroughly eliminate nerve edema.
