Patient's question:
My relative is 41 years old this year. It is said that they recently went to the hospital for many symptoms and were diagnosed with facial nerve paralysis. So I wanted to ask, is facial nerve palsy serious?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy has two types: 1. Central facial palsy originates from the central nervous system, such as glioma, postoperative sequelae, cerebral thrombosis, and post-stroke complications. 2. Peripheral facial palsy is caused by facial neuritis, mainly due to viral infections that can lead to peripheral facial palsy. Facial neuritis is a pathological factor of facial paralysis. It is recommended that you see a doctor for standardized treatment, including intravenous administration of acyclovir, B vitamins, and interleukin-6, combined with acupuncture and oral administration of Qiang Zheng San and B vitamins for comprehensive treatment.
