Facial paralysis is paralysis of the facial muscles caused by damage to the craniofacial nerve. Treatment usually includes medication, physical therapy, and surgery.
1. Drug treatment
(1) Glucocorticoid drugs, such as prednisone and dexamethasone.
(2) Antiviral drugs: e.g. acyclovir, vasiclovir, etc.
(3) Neurotrophic agents: such as vitamin B1, methylcobalamin and so on.
(4) Antibiotics: such as doxycycline, penicillin, erythromycin and so on.
2. Physical therapy: infrared rays, ultra-short wave, etc. can reduce edema symptoms; electrical stimulation can effectively promote the recovery of facial nerve function.

Facial paralysis patients must seek medical treatment in time, and the doctor will give reasonable diagnosis and treatment plan.
