Patient's question:
Lately, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. Could you please explain the difference between facial nerve palsy and Bell's palsy?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is divided into central facial palsy and peripheral facial palsy, while facial palsy caused by facial neuritis is a type of peripheral facial palsy. When facial palsy reoccurs, it is necessary to promptly determine the treatment method based on the specific type and severity of the facial palsy. Generally, the primary treatments include medication and acupuncture. In cases where the effect is not satisfactory, surgery may be implemented based on the situation.
