How to treat facial paralysis caused by a viral infection?

Patient's question:

Previously, due to a cold, I accidentally contracted a viral infection that caused facial paralysis. Now, I don't know what treatment is appropriate. How is viral facial paralysis treated?

Doctor's answer:

If you have experienced many cold symptoms again previously, it may be due to a more severe viral infection, leading to many cases of facial neuritis. This can cause the facial nerve to swell again, resulting in brain edema and ultimately leading to the collapse of facial muscles. During the acute phase, it is important to use various antiviral treatments, nerve nutrition, and acupuncture therapy to stabilize additional symptoms. Daily diet also needs to be paid attention to.
