Facial palsy is a disease that affects the appearance of the patient, so once the patient has the disease, he or she is often anxious. Especially for young patients, there are two issues that they are most concerned about, the first is how long it will take for me to get well, and the second is whether it will lead to sequelae. Facial palsy is actually a disease with a very high rate of self-healing, and most patients have a very good prognosis, and there is a pattern to follow. We will talk about the rules today so that you can have a good idea of what to expect in the treatment. Many patients who have facial palsy are confused and often ask the doctor how did I get this disease? Then we will make a generalization here. The most common cause of facial palsy is Hunt’s syndrome, which is an infection and invasion of the facial nerve by the herpes zoster virus, resulting in facial nerve dysfunction. The other common type is called idiopathic facial neuritis. The reason why it is called idiopathic is that its cause is not clear at present. The onset of both types of facial palsy has some triggers, such as fatigue, staying up late, lack of sleep, cold, getting cold in the summer, blowing too much air conditioner and fan, sweating and blowing wind, etc. In these cases of lowered immunity, the symptoms of facial palsy will appear. To distinguish between these two types of facial palsy, after getting the disease, we must first look at the patient’s ear and the ear canal to see if there are red clusters of small blisters inside the ear canal. If no blisters are seen, we consider idiopathic facial neuritis. Regardless of the type of facial palsy caused, it is related to the body’s immune system. Therefore, the best preventive measures are to get enough sleep, avoid colds and flu, have regular rest and rest, and not to be too cool in summer, and not to blow after sweating, so as to prevent facial palsy from the pathogenesis. Facial palsy is a common clinical disease, and when a patient has facial palsy, the most important concern is whether it can be cured or not. Danish medical scientists have followed and studied 2500 cases of facial palsy patients for more than 10 years. It was found that the overall prognosis of facial palsy is very good. After early conventional treatment, the overall recovery rate of facial palsy can reach more than 70%, that is, seven out of ten patients with facial palsy can be completely cured without any sequelae, which is a very high recovery rate. So what are the conventional treatments? The first is hormone therapy. For both types of facial palsy caused by herpes virus infection and idiopathic facial neuritis, glucocorticoids can be used in the early stage. Glucocorticosteroids are recommended to be used early, in sufficient quantity and for a full course of treatment. Of course, there are some restrictions on the use of glucocorticoids, such as the elderly, diabetic patients, hypertensive patients, patients with active tuberculosis, patients with peptic ulcers, and patients with other acute infections, we do not recommend the use of glucocorticoids, which should be flexible according to the specific conditions of the patients. Another one is antiviral drugs. For patients with herpes zoster virus infection, early use of antiviral drugs, namely acyclovir, is required. For patients without evidence of viral infection, if the patient’s condition is severe, antiviral drugs can be used in combination with glucocorticoids to enhance the efficacy. Specifically in China, we also have Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture treatment, which can be used early and timely. The other is physical therapy, including low and medium frequency electrotherapy, microwave therapy, heat therapy, and moxibustion therapy in Chinese medicine, all of which are good options for physical therapy. Therefore, overall speaking, if facial palsy is treated early and in a timely manner, the prognosis should be very good, so patients should not worry too much after getting the disease.
