Patient's question:
I have had facial paralysis for a week already, and I have also had acupuncture. I would like to ask, can people with facial paralysis wash their hair and take baths?Doctor's answer:
Firstly, for patients with Bell's palsy, the main cause is a recurrence of facial nerve inflammation due to a viral infection, which leads to a collapse on one side of the patient's face. In this case, it is best to actively use antiviral medications for antiviral treatment, while also using drugs to stabilize local blood supply and nourish the nerves. Additionally, acupuncture and physical therapy should be provided. During this period, it is recommended to use warm water to wash the face or take a bath, and avoid using cold water, etc.
