Patient's question:
I got married early and stayed at home taking care of my children, not working. Sometimes when my kids went to kindergarten, I would do beauty and skincare with my best friend, and life was quite fulfilling. One day after doing my skincare, on my way home, I felt my face become stiff and unable to move! What on earth is a facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis is mainly caused by a recent decline in physical immunity and viral infection. It is usually triggered by the varicella-zoster virus. Please pay attention to check if there is a recurrence of herpes. It is recommended to undergo a review at a local reputable hospital's neurology department. In terms of treatment, antiviral medications are necessary. Avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods, and maintain a light diet. Patients should balance their nutritional intake in daily life and engage in regular aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies.
