What are the treatments for facial paralysis

Facial paralysis is a common disease, and it is also a frequently-occurring disease. There are many factors that cause facial paralysis, such as postoperative sequelae, facial paralysis caused by poisoning, and facial paralysis caused by tumors. Some facial paralysis may be caused by congenital factors. After facial paralysis, it is often manifested as crooked corners of the mouth and incoordination of tear gland secretion caused by incoordination of facial muscles. When you have eyelid tremors, you should pay attention to it. Here are some methods to treat facial paralysis.

1. Treatment in a regular hospital

After facial paralysis occurs, treatment is usually more effective within a week. You can use the nerve nourishing drug vitamin B12 intramuscular injection and use prednisone for anti-inflammatory treatment. Vasodilators such as diabetic renal cell carcinoma can also be used for treatment. Facial nerve paralysis can be treated with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Usually, after facial nerve paralysis occurs, it is best to go to the hospital for formal treatment.

2. Protect your cornea

Because after facial paralysis occurs, the patient's palpebral fissure becomes larger and the cornea is exposed to the outside for a long time, which makes it easy for corneal infection to occur. In order to reduce the occurrence of corneal inflammation, patients with facial paralysis can wear corneal protection glasses. When eye discomfort occurs, it is best to undergo eye anti-inflammatory treatment under the guidance of a doctor. You can use antibiotic eye drops topically, or you can apply antibiotic eye drops before going to bed at night.

3. Acupuncture, massage, physical therapy

Acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy are also ways to treat facial paralysis. However, because acupuncture takes a long time and may cause damage to the root of the facial nerve, it is generally not recommended. In addition, the folk remedy of applying eel blood to the hemiplegic area also has a certain effect in treating facial paralysis.

4. Prevent overwork

Preventing excessive fatigue also plays a certain role in preventing the occurrence of facial paralysis. After overwork, the virus can easily invade the facial nerves and cause facial paralysis. When you feel numbness on your face, it is best to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. The earlier facial paralysis is treated, the better the results.
