Question

Facial paralysis caused by a common cold, I’ve been taking medication for three days, but there is still no improvement. What should I do?

Answer

Based on the description, the specific cause of the facial paralysis is not yet determined, and it may be related to viral infection or catching a cold. This condition may lead to a dysfunction of one side of the facial nerve, manifested as the disappearance of forehead wrinkles, shallowening of the nasolabial groove, inability to close the eyes, and difficulty in whistling. The following measures are recommended:

  1. Maintain a light diet and pay attention to oral and eye hygiene.
  2. Take appropriate medication and undergo muscle injections of vitamin B1 and vitamin C12.
  3. Consider using acupuncture and other alternative therapies.
