Patient's question:
What should a doctor do if they get facial paralysis?! I never thought I would get facial paralysis at a young age. It's very difficult for me to make any facial expressions, and often because I can't respond properly to certain situations, I'm bullied by people around me and face gender discrimination. So, what should the doctor do?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of facial paralysis are caused by stroke, possibly due to intracranial inflammation, cerebrovascular diseases, or neurological disorders. Antiviral medications and neurotrophic drugs can be used for treatment, along with physical therapies such as local heat application, massage, and acupuncture, which may provide some relief. Avoiding mental stress and excessive fatigue is also recommended. If symptoms do not improve, it is advisable to consult a neurology department in a formal hospital for further evaluation.
