Localized facial paralysis, i.e. peripheral facial paralysis, refers to facial nerve paralysis, which is caused by damage to the facial nerve. The causes of the disease include cold irritation, infection and tumor compression.
1. Cold stimulation: When the weather is hot, blowing air-conditioner for a long time or blowing to a fan after sweating, or being exposed to wind or cold in cold weather may lead to localized facial paralysis.
2. Infection: Herpes zoster virus infection can cause Hunter’s syndrome, resulting in paralysis of one side of the expression muscles, causing facial paralysis.
3. Tumor compression: If the facial nerve is compressed by a tumor in the brain, the patient may have facial paralysis.
Facial paralysis patients should pay attention to avoid long-term facial cold wind stimulation, should maintain a happy mood, develop a good daily routine, frequent facial care and rehabilitation, strengthen the activities of the facial muscles, to promote recovery, and if there is any discomfort timely consultation.
