Patient's question:
Work pressure is very high, and I often work overtime at night. One morning, while taking a shower, I noticed that my face was a bit crooked, my mouth was twisted and couldn't close, and I was drooling. I rushed to a hospital in the county, and they said it was facial paralysis, which terrified my relatives. My relative needs to wear makeup when they go off work. Does facial paralysis have anything to do with using cosmetics?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, overwork before the onset of Bell's palsy and high work pressure have led to excessive fatigue and a relatively weakened immune system. Most patients with Bell's palsy experience exposure to cold wind, cold water, or other similar conditions before the onset, such as blowing a fan or encountering cold water. A smaller portion of patients have a history of fatigue before the onset, with a relatively weakened immune system. Prompt acupuncture, physical therapy, intravenous fluids, or oral medications to support nerve nutrition are key to preventing complications. Eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid alcohol, and refrain from spicy foods. Rest more and detoxify yourself.
