Patient's question:
I went out to drink beer with friends a while ago, and after coming back, I noticed that my face felt a bit uncomfortable and I couldn't control it myself. I want to ask if it's okay to drink beer after recovering from facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
This situation does not allow for drinking beer, as it greatly hinders the complete recovery from the disease. Generally, this should be considered central facial palsy, which is caused by cerebral ischemia or hemorrhage and cannot be peripheral facial palsy. Because of this, long-term drinking is not recommended, as it can easily damage blood vessels and lead to recurrence. Generally, facial nerve palsy is caused by facial nerve stimulation after exposure to cold, so it is necessary to pay attention to the initial complete recovery from facial palsy and prevent further damage to the facial nerve. Pay attention to prevention and avoid eating too much fruit and vegetables.
