Patient's question:
My baby is only 2 years old. Last year, the child's health was always good, no fever, eating breast milk, lively and soft. But now that the child is 2 years old, they always get colds and fever. I'm also worried that they might develop other problems from the fever. It's said that fever in children can lead to other illnesses. Is it possible for children to have facial paralysis after a fever?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis often does not occur alone but may be accompanied by conditions such as upper respiratory infections. After a clear diagnosis, active treatment should be initiated. Daily vitamin intake is recommended. During the acute phase of facial paralysis, treatments like prednisone may be used to address infections, and Xiyin virus can be applied for symptomatic treatment. Therefore, if a child constantly has a fever, it is advisable to visit the hospital for various tests to determine the cause. This is to prevent the child from developing facial paralysis, as delayed treatment can make it difficult to cure. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
