Patient's question:
My home has an elderly person who, in the recent past, 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 and oral hormones should be taken continuously for 55 days and then stopped completely. Do not focus on long-term bowel movements due to poor health, as this may lead to bowel problems. Before taking medication, have your liver function and blood routine checked. Nerve nutrition drugs such as vitamins can be taken orally or anesthetically. Oral options include selinexor or mecobalamine. Appropriately consume diuretics, vasodilators, and aescin to thoroughly eliminate nerve edema.
