How is peripheral facial palsy treated?

  With sudden changes in weather and persistent low temperatures, combined with alcoholism, exertion, and illness, people’s resistance is significantly reduced and viruses can easily attack the body and cause a number of diseases.  Peripheral facial palsy, also known as facial neuritis or facial nerve palsy or bell’s palsy, is a disease in which the facial nerve is attacked by a virus and causes non-suppurative inflammation, resulting in edema, demyelination and other pathological changes in the facial nerve, resulting in reduced facial muscle activity or paralysis.  The clinical manifestations are rapid onset, inflexible facial movements, distorted mouth and face, loss of forehead wrinkles, enlarged eye fissures, inability to close the eyelids, shallowing of the nasolabial fold on one side, and drooping of the corners of the mouth. There is also impairment of movement such as frowning, closing the eyes, showing teeth, and puffing cheeks. When eating, food residues are retained in the affected side of the cheek, and saliva flows down from that side. In addition, 40% of the patients have loss of taste sensation in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue due to the involvement of the osseous nerve.  The use of stellate ganglion block combined with manual therapy technique not only has a high cure rate and significantly reduces the occurrence of sequelae, but more importantly, it also has a satisfactory therapeutic effect on old facial neuritis. To strengthen physical exercise, improve physical quality, enhance the body’s immune resistance, in order to resist the disease and promote early recovery.
