Patient's question:
My father suddenly got facial paralysis last month and is now in recovery. I want to ask what foods are good for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Middle-aged and elderly men, who have suffered from facial paralysis, are currently in the recovery phase. Facial paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy, is generally a neurological disease caused by factors such as cold exposure or chilling of the face. It manifests as clinical symptoms like crooked mouth and eyes, drooling, etc. Medications such as blood-activating, neurotrophic, and circulation-stabilizing drugs are administered, followed by the combination of acupuncture, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation. Generally, the effects are quite good. It is recommended to pay attention to facial protection from cold, prevent cooling or chilling, and avoid spicy and irritating foods in diet. There is nothing particularly unusual or noteworthy in other aspects.
