Patient's question:
My relative's aunt was in a car accident. At the time, her neck was hit by two stones. The hospital said her facial nerve was severed. Later, she became paralyzed on one side of her face. Her next-door neighbor, the uncle, doesn't know anything about the internet. What are the forbidden techniques for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Trauma-induced facial paralysis is similar to general facial paralysis, without special contraindications, requiring protection from cold and guarding, especially in cold weather. Typically, massage, physical therapy, acupuncture, and other methods are used to promote the complete recovery of paralyzed muscles. Patients should avoid spicy foods. It is best not to eat spicy foods. The fundamental cause of facial paralysis is damage to the facial nerve and its muscular system. Spicy and irritating foods are something facial paralysis patients must pay attention to and avoid, such as onions, garlic, chives, chili peppers, pepper, onions, mustard, five-spice powder, curry powder, etc. These foods can descend to the head and strike the facial nerve, intensifying the nerve's sense of guilt and thus causing pain. It is recommended to eat light and bland foods.
