Patient's question:
My wife currently has mild facial paralysis, and I'd like to consult a doctor. Does facial paralysis require dietary restrictions?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of facial paralysis in young people are caused by factors such as catching a cold, exposure to wind, and viral infections. In addition to actively using antiviral, blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing, muscle-stretching and meridian-activating, wind-dispelling and dampness-removing, and neurotrophic drugs, combined with acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage methods of treatment, dietary factors are also quite crucial and require dietary restrictions. Avoid extremely cold, spicy, and other stimulating foods, and do not eat foods that are considered "offensive" such as chicken, eggs, and fish.
