Patient's question:
Sister-in-law's paternal uncle felt that his face was very uncomfortable recently. His uncle thought it might be because he had facial paralysis, but he didn't know if it needed treatment. Do you need treatment for facial paralysis? Can you eat pork rib soup with facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
During the illness, you can drink pork rib soup, but it is best to eat light food. This condition can be treated with acupuncture, which is very effective. You should also take nutrients that support nerve health and take vitamin B12. It is important to control emotions, prevent excitement, and take rest without overworking. If it is peripheral facial paralysis, it may not necessarily require hospitalization. The treatment mainly relies on medication to reduce facial nerve edema, support nerve health, and promote chewing movements. Central facial paralysis usually requires hospitalization.
