Patient's question:
My mother-in-law got facial paralysis due to catching a cold. I want to buy milk for her. Can someone with facial paralysis drink milk?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy can be combined with milk. Bell's palsy itself is caused by the blockage of meridians and the sensation of wind-cold, leading to the collapse of facial muscles. Treatment should be based on the early stage of Bell's palsy, and it is essential to treat it in the early stages. The treatment is primarily based on traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and physical therapy, which are complemented by comprehensive evaluation and treatment from Western medicine. Therefore, some patients with Bell's palsy may delay treatment and leave behind facial sequelae. In terms of diet, a liquid or semi-liquid diet should be followed temporarily.
