What to do with facial paralysis

There are still a lot of patients with facial paralysis in life. The vast majority of them suffer from facial paralysis due to damage to the central nervous system. Of course, there are many patients with facial paralysis caused by other reasons. For patients with facial paralysis, they cannot make large facial expressions, so they often give people a feeling of being difficult to approach, which also causes certain troubles for patients.

Now, for patients with facial paralysis who want treatment, they first need to understand the cause of the disease. Only after understanding the cause of the disease can they really prescribe the right medicine, so that the disease can be fundamentally treated.

Patients with facial nerve paralysis should not eat spicy and greasy food. Spicy foods such as chili peppers, peppercorns, onions, garlic, etc. are pungent, warm and dry, which can easily turn into fire and damage yin. Some patients with facial nerve paralysis are caused by diseases such as otitis media or meningitis. Spicy foods or smoking and drinking will aggravate primary diseases such as otitis media, thereby aggravating the secondary "facial nerve paralysis".

Greasy foods such as fatty meat, fried foods, rice cakes, glutinous rice cakes, etc. are sticky in nature, difficult to digest, and easily cause dampness and phlegm, blocking the meridians. Some patients with this disease are invaded by wind and cold, which block the meridians. Greasy food is not conducive to the evacuation of wind and cold, resulting in facial nerve paralysis that is difficult to cure for a long time. Therefore, it is not suitable for consumption.

Most patients with facial paralysis suffer from sudden onset of the disease, and inevitably experience tension, anxiety, and fear. Some are ashamed to see people because of fear of facial changes, and some are left with sequelae due to poor treatment effects. At this time, we must patiently explain and comfort the patients according to their different psychological characteristics, relieve their tension, stabilize their emotions, and ensure that their body and mind are in the best state to receive treatment and care, so as to improve the treatment effect.

We must prevent facial paralysis early. The prevention of facial paralysis should start with small things in life. For example, try to avoid using air conditioning in daily life, pay attention to keeping your face warm in cold weather, and don't give yourself too much psychological pressure, and don't work in a long-term tiring way. This will help prevent facial paralysis.
