Patient's question:
A week ago, I felt too hot in the house, so I didn't close the window when taking a nap in the evening. The next morning, I woke up with facial paralysis. The doctor said this condition might be a symptom of a stroke. I want to ask how should facial paralysis be treated? After treatment, will there be any aftereffects?Doctor's answer:
Corticosteroids: Corticosteroids are commonly used to treat Bell's palsy, preventing tissue degeneration, facial muscle spasms, and increasing the recurrence of joint mobility to prevent further deterioration of the condition. It is generally believed that the relief rate of mild anesthesia is unrelated to the method of administration, while the treatment of moderate anesthesia can extend the duration of relief and reduce the relief rate. Neurovalle degeneration is smoothly completed within 2 weeks after the recurrence of collapse symptoms, so it should be administered early before the nerve degeneration occurs; otherwise, the prognosis is poor.
