Can facial paralysis in children be treated?

Patient's question:

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has a normal appetite, with no other significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. Can pediatric facial paralysis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, the recurrence of facial paralysis in the child may be due to previous trauma, although it is also possible that it could be caused by facial nerve palsy or facial neuritis. Specific diagnosis requires detailed examinations and tests at the hospital. Currently, it is advisable to take some blood circulation-stimulating medications, but specific medication should follow medical advice. Additionally, acupuncture and other physical therapies can be considered to help stabilize the symptoms.
