Patient's question:
Mom mysteriously reappeared with facial paralysis symptoms again, without any signs, it's very strange. I wonder what possible causes might lead to facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello: It's a pleasure to serve you. Based on the situation you described, Bell's palsy is a form of facial nerve inflammation, which is a neurological condition. There are several causes of facial paralysis, such as exposure to cold, drafts, excessive fatigue, lack of sleep, and viral infections. You can visit the neurology department for follow-up treatment and take antiviral, corticosteroid, and neurotrophic drugs, such as ribavirin, dexamethasone, and methylcobalamin. Combine acupuncture and physical therapy for better results. Rest well, avoid spicy, extremely cold, and greasy foods, and take care to stay warm. Wear a mask or scarf when going outside. Wishing you good health!
