Patients with facial paralysis, which may be caused by cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other causes of facial nerve damage, can be treated with medication, physical therapy, surgery and other ways to recover as soon as possible.
1. Drug treatment: patients can apply neurotrophic drugs such as methylcobalamin and sodium cytarabine to promote nerve repair. If facial paralysis is caused by cerebral infarction, patients can apply anti-platelet drugs such as aspirin, clopidogrel, etc., and thrombolytic drugs such as alteplase can be applied if necessary.
2. Physical therapy: such as acupuncture, infrared irradiation, etc., can promote facial blood circulation and nerve recovery.
3. Surgery: If the patient’s nerve damage is severe or medication is ineffective, the patient may choose surgery, such as facial nerve anastomosis, facial nerve decompression surgery and so on.
Facial paralysis patients need to go to the hospital immediately to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor for targeted treatment, do not rush, so as not to aggravate the condition.
