What are the tips for treating the sequelae of facial paralysis

Facial paralysis refers to a state of facial paralysis in which the facial nerves are damaged and cannot respond to the brain's control.

It is important to note that you must not let the medicine drip into the eyes.

Causes of facial paralysis due to stroke

(1) Facial stroke

The cause of this facial paralysis can lead to poor blood circulation in the face. Facial ischemia and hypoxia cause facial nerve paralysis, inflammation, and even necrosis. This causes the facial muscles to relax and droop without the control of the brain. Facial paralysis is the paralysis and inflammation of the facial nerves caused by facial stroke (wind), viruses, trauma, etc., which causes the muscles on the affected side to sag, so it is also called facial neuritis. Therefore, everyone needs to pay attention to stroke, a potential factor of facial paralysis.

(2) Psychological factors

Before facial paralysis occurs, a considerable number of patients with facial paralysis suffer from physical fatigue, lack of sleep, mental tension and physical discomfort. Therefore, psychological factors are also the cause of facial paralysis.

(3) Traumatic factors

According to surveys, traumatic factors are also particularly important in the causes of facial paralysis. Traumatic facial paralysis caused by iatrogenic sequelae, tumors and other diseases is also on the rise, and its incidence rate is also increasing.
