Is facial nerve palsy the same as facial neuritis?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is Bell's palsy the same as facial nerve inflammation?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment plans for facial nerve palsy and facial neuritis are almost the same. You can take mecobalamin three times a day, with each dose being one tablet. Also, take Yimai Kang three times a day, with each dose being two tablets. Additionally, take ganoderma lucidum three times a day, with each dose being two tablets. Persist in taking the medication for half a month. During the treatment, avoid excessive fatigue and prevent cold wind from blowing on your face. Eat more foods rich in vitamins and exercise sufficiently! This is because it primarily manifests as the complete collapse of all facial expression muscles controlled by the facial nerve. Active and effective rehabilitation treatment is necessary.
