How should Bell's palsy be treated if it recurs?

Patient's question:

Auntie had facial paralysis before, which was completely recovered, but it appeared again last week. What should I do if the facial paralysis comes back?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to the situation you described: The recurrence of facial paralysis is mostly due to incomplete recovery from facial paralysis, which is often related to white matter disease of the brain and subsequent facial nerve involvement around the brainstem. During treatment, outdoor activities should be increased. It is also important to maintain the cleanliness and hygiene of the eyes at all times. In terms of diet, it is advisable to eat less spicy food and avoid hard foods. Chewing should be done slowly and carefully. After meals, it is important to wash your mouth promptly and maintain good oral hygiene.
