Patient's question:
Doctor, recently I've been feeling that the muscles in my face are very stiff, and I can't make expressions. My colleague said this is facial paralysis and suggested I go to the hospital for a thorough examination and start treatment quickly, not to let it get worse. But I don't know what procedures to follow at the hospital. Could you please tell me which department I should go to for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described: Bell's palsy generally requires a follow-up visit to the neurology department of a hospital. The specific treatment plan needs to be formulated based on a comprehensive evaluation of clinical symptoms and physical examination findings. It is essential to pay attention to local warmth protection, prevent exposure to cold, and avoid direct exposure of the face to cold wind. It is recommended to consume a diet rich in vitamins and protein, and to enhance physical exercise to strengthen the body's resistance.
