Patient's question:
A child from a relative's family has recently experienced facial muscle atrophy again. We took the child to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results showed that the child has facial nerve palsy. What symptoms does this disease cause besides these?Doctor's answer:
Facial nerve disorders are common among young children. The symptoms of this condition typically include recurring mouth and eye. The main reason for this is muscle atrophy and stiffness in the facial muscles, along with poor blood circulation. When children suffer from facial nerve paralysis, it is essential to avoid wind exposure, which is very important. Since children with facial nerve paralysis often experience a significant decline in their sense of smell and taste, parents should try to prepare as many foods as possible that their children dislike, as the diet during treatment must be rich in nutrients. We can offer children liquid or semi-liquid foods.
