How is facial nerve palsy caused?

Patient's question:

My eyebrows cannot lift normally, and my mouth corners are also difficult to open. The doctor said it's facial neuritis. How does facial neuritis occur?

Doctor's answer:

Facial nerve palsy, also known as facial paralysis, can be treated with blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving drugs, neurotrophic drugs, and vitamin B1 carbamazepine. It is also best to combine treatment with acupuncture, physical therapy, massage, and heat applications. In terms of diet, we should also eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to replenish vitamins. On a daily basis, it is important to avoid overexertion, ensure adequate rest and deep sleep, prevent facial coldness, and avoid washing the face with cold water. In this way, facial paralysis patients can recover quickly.
