Postpartum facial paralysis may be caused by cold or viral infection. Patients may show paralysis of facial expression muscles on one side, disappearance of frontal lines, crooked mouth and eyes, drooling, and weakness of eyelid closure.
1. Cold wind stimulation: After giving birth, due to improper care, prolonged wind blowing on the face causes facial nerve edema and demyelination, causing facial nerve paralysis, leading to postpartum facial paralysis. When opening windows or using air conditioners after delivery, you should avoid blowing cool air directly on your face.
2. Viral infections: After giving birth, due to low immunity and improper daily care, mothers may suffer from viral infections, which may damage the facial nerve and cause facial neuritis, which may also induce facial paralysis.
As the body is weak after delivery, care should be strengthened. For example, keep warm and give nutritious food to strengthen the resistance. At the same time, the psychological counseling of the mother, to maintain a happy mood, will help the disease recovery.
When the symptoms of facial paralysis appear, it is necessary to consult a doctor in time for examination, and carry out targeted treatment after clarifying the causative factors, so as to avoid the after-effects of the disease.
