How do people with facial paralysis sleep?

Patient's question:

My dear aunt, she is 53 years old, and she has already had facial paralysis. Hello, how can someone with facial paralysis take a nap?

Doctor's answer:

For patients with facial paralysis, it is best to avoid controlling their facial muscles while taking a nap. It is recommended to lie flat while napping. If they try to control their facial muscles, it may lead to poor blood circulation again, which can affect the complete recovery and improvement of facial paralysis. Before taking a nap, it is advisable to apply local heat and massage, which can also be appropriately combined with acupuncture. Additionally, using some blood-activating medications can help in the and treatment. Avoid consuming sour and spicy foods.
