Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've been experiencing severe dizziness and weakness in my limbs. The other day, when I went to bed, I noticed that half of my face had become droopy, my eyes couldn't close, and my mouth was drooling, which looked very bad. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they diagnosed it as facial paralysis. What kind of help I need: How is facial paralysis treated?Doctor's answer:
Non-surgical treatment can be adopted. The principle of non-surgical treatment is to enhance local inflammation, edema, and early resolution, while promoting the complete recovery of nerve function. If the facial nerve palsy has not fully recovered after three months of conservative treatment, and both the facial nerve conduction velocity and electromyography of the facial muscle show no response (i.e., no potential movement), surgical treatment can be considered. The above is a suggestion for this issue, and it is hoped to assist you. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
