Patient's question:
I had a stroke while taking a nap and recently developed facial paralysis. What are some folk remedies for treating facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
There are many folk remedies for the treatment of Bell's palsy, but it is best not to use homemade methods for treatment. Currently, most scholars believe it may be caused by herpes simplex virus-induced neuritis, which manifests as facial paralysis, drooling, hyperacusis, and taste disorders. Drug treatment may be difficult, but it is important to seek treatment as early as possible. Commonly used medications include corticosteroids, antiviral drugs, vasodilators, and vitamins. Physical therapy methods such as infrared therapy, massage, hyperbaric oxygen treatment, and corneal protection can also be used.
