How to treat facial paralysis

Facial paralysis is divided into central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis. The cause of central facial paralysis is mainly caused by cerebrovascular disease. Its treatment should be carried out according to the treatment principle of cerebrovascular disease. For the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis in the acute phase, a small amount of hormone should be taken orally to reduce facial nerve edema and promote the recovery of facial nerve function. The commonly used drug is prednisone, which can be taken orally for 5-7 days continuously. At the same time, it is also necessary to give drugs to nourish and protect nerves. The commonly used drugs are B vitamins, including vitamin B1 and vitamin B12. In the process of treatment, pay attention to keeping your face warm and free from the wind. You'd better wear a mask when going out. During this period, do not eat spicy and irritant food, and ensure that you have a rest. After two weeks, you can also use acupuncture. After proper treatment, 80% of the patients with facial paralysis can completely relieve their symptoms within one month, and some others will leave slight sequelae.
