Patient's question:
My friend has been experiencing facial muscle pain recently. After going to the hospital for a check-up, they found out that it was facial nerve palsy. I'd like to know how long one needs to take medication for facial neuritis in the later stages?Doctor's answer:
The patient's face often cannot even complete basic movements such as raising the eyebrows, closing the eyes, or pouting. The reasons can be summarized as follows: infections, exposure to cold or wind, demyelination of nerves, alcohol poisoning, trauma, vascular factors, and so on. Among these, conditions like infections, poisoning, trauma, exposure to wind, etc., can suddenly cause facial paralysis to recur. Depending on the patient's psychological characteristics, it is important to provide patient-friendly answers, comfort, and guidance to alleviate their tension, stabilize their emotions, and ensure their physical and mental state is optimal. Understanding the treatment and care can help improve the therapeutic effect.
