Patient's question:
Grandma doesn't know if it's because she's getting older or if her face got cold, but she has repeatedly experienced facial paralysis. Recently, she has been seeing a doctor and taking medication. She wants to understand that besides medication, what should she eat for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Patients with facial paralysis can consume many foods that are easier to absorb and nutritious, while also increasing the intake of dietary fiber and vitamin C-rich foods, including grains, vegetables, and fruits. For example, foods like onions, garlic, mushrooms, fungi, kelp, hawthorn, seaweed, light tea, and konjac are recommended. MSG should be used sparingly, and it is best to avoid it altogether, especially when heated. Additionally, it is advisable to limit foods that are hot in nature, as well as avoid alcohol, spicy, and irritating foods.
