Patient's question:
Recently, due to the weather being too hot, last night I faced the air conditioning vent for a long time to cool down (18 degrees). Today, I woke up with facial paralysis. How is facial paralysis treated?Doctor's answer:
The exact cause of Bell's palsy is currently unclear, but it can be triggered by various factors such as viral infections. If the weather is particularly hot, blowing cold air from an air conditioning vent can potentially lead to Bell's palsy. During this time, when you are sweating and your pores are open, a sudden exposure to cold can cause facial nerve paralysis, which is known as Bell's palsy. You can directly go to the hospital for acupuncture therapy or use red light therapy. While undergoing therapy, you can also take medications that support nerve health.
