Patient's question:

I have a friend who has a symptom called facial paralysis. He wants to see a Western doctor. Hello, what is the Western medical term for facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

Bell's palsy is called facial neuritis in Western medicine. The recurrence of symptoms of facial neuritis is often caused by frequent exposure to cold wind or getting chilled, or excessive physical strain. When going out, it's important to wear a mask or hat. Visit the neurology department for a series of thorough examinations. You can take some nerve-nourishing medications to alleviate the symptoms, supplement your body with vitamins, and use a warm towel for local cold compresses to relieve the symptoms.
