Patient's question:
In the past few years, my sister-in-law was diagnosed with facial paralysis on the right side of her face. She recently went to the hospital and was told that she also has facial paralysis on the left side. So, what is the reason for her having facial paralysis on the right side before the New Year and now on the left side as well?Doctor's answer:
Crashes don't discriminate by age. The treatment for facial paralysis is the earlier, the better. It's best to go to the hospital for irregular treatment within one week after the onset of the condition. Anti-viral drugs, neurotrophic drugs, and medications to improve local blood circulation should be used as soon as possible, and acupuncture can be combined to promote the rapid recovery of facial paralysis.Patients with facial paralysis should pay attention to protecting their corneas because, due to the condition, their eyes are exposed to the outside for a long time, making them prone to recurrent corneal infections. To prevent recurrent corneal inflammation, facial paralysis patients can wear corneal protective glasses.
Preventive measures for colds can start from normal time.
