Patient's question:
I had a facial paralysis attack and don't want to take medicine anymore. I'd like to try some simple solutions. What is the cold compress method for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Enhance local inflammation, edema, and early resolution, and promote complete recovery of nerve function. In addition, it is recommended to administer intravenous fluids for antiviral or anti-infection treatment within the first week, as well as nutrients for nerve support. Physical therapy and acupuncture; protect exposed corneas and prevent conjunctivitis, using eye masks, eye drops, eye ointments, etc. Then, acupuncture can be applied to further address the condition. If it is a viral infection, medications such as antivirals, nerve nutrients, corticosteroids, and B vitamins can be used. If this type of peripheral facial palsy appears early, like this, do not use cold compress methods, as the virus or bacteria can spread and cause exacerbation. Do not mess up the order.
