The day before yesterday we saw a very cute little baby, born only 18 days ago, with big eyes, long eyelashes and red lips, the only shortcoming was that the right side of her face was smaller than the left side, and the corner of her mouth was crooked to the left when she cried. We knew at first glance that the baby was suffering from “facial palsy”, also known as “facial neuritis” in Western medicine, which is not surprising at all and is very common clinically, but what surprised us was that the baby was a newborn. The chances of a newborn developing facial palsy are very slim. When asked about the child’s medical history, her mother told us that the baby had sneezed and had a runny nose 10 days ago and got better after taking cold medicine, but two days later they noticed that when the baby cried, the corners of her mouth tilted to the left. Peripheral facial neuritis is caused by viral, ischemic, autoimmune, vascular spasm and other causes of damage to the facial nerve, and then the function of the motor fibers innervated by it is restricted. In the acute phase, ultrashort wave and infrared light can be used, and in the recovery phase, electro-acupuncture and acupuncture injections can have a very obvious effect. Since facial palsy is mainly seen in adults, it is necessary to pay attention to this disease because the age of onset of this disease is getting younger and younger, especially the patient and parents must pay attention to: 1. It is especially important to maintain emotional stability and relax the facial muscles on the affected side to prevent facial spasm; 3. In response to the above situation of small babies, how should we prevent it? First, the room must be diligently ventilated, the baby to avoid blowing directly into the wind. Secondly, the clothes and blankets should be dried regularly. Thirdly, pay attention to the hygiene of baby’s breastfeeding and utensils, and must disinfect the baby before breastfeeding each time. Only in this way can our little baby grow up more healthy.
