Facial paralysis is divided into central and peripheral, central usually secondary to cerebrovascular disease, peripheral usually refers to primary idiopathic facial nerve palsy. Idiopathic facial nerve palsy is a common mononeuropathy of the brain, which is the most common cause of facial paralysis. The disease is self-healing and can be treated with medication combined with acupuncture, physical and rehabilitation therapy; central facial paralysis should be treated for the primary disease. Drug treatment: For peripheral facial nerve palsy caused by facial neuritis, antiviral treatment can be used for viral infection, and at the same time, injections or oral treatment can be used for nerve nourishment, B vitamins and other drugs. Glucocorticoids can be used for short-term treatment for patients without contraindications. Acupuncture: Early acupuncture treatment can reduce the inflammatory reaction and promote the recovery of nerve function, and it is recommended to be treated by professional acupuncturists. Physical therapy: Commonly used are ultra-short wave, low and medium frequency electrotherapy, laser, drug introduction, etc., which have certain auxiliary therapeutic effects. Rehabilitation therapy: Hot compresses can be applied to the affected side to promote local blood circulation. When the facial muscles start to recover, it is necessary to do muscle training of facial muscles, mainly training of expression muscles, do opening eyes, wrinkling forehead, sucking, cocking lips, whistling, pouting lips, opening mouth and other actions, each time about 20min, 1-2 times a day, until the final recovery. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: early use of clearing heat and detoxification to dispel wind and pass through the traditional Chinese medicine, after the acute stage, using methods such as activating blood circulation and benefiting qi, together with the western medicine treatment can effectively alleviate the symptoms and speed up the recovery. At the same time, nursing care should be strengthened to prevent direct wind blowing on the face; when the patient has incomplete eyelid closure, attention should be paid to the protection of the patient’s eyes, and an eye mask should be used when necessary; attention should be paid to rest, preventing overwork; and the diet should be light, avoiding spicy and greasy diet. To summarize, most patients with peripheral facial paralysis can be cured by themselves, but some of them will have after-effects. Therefore, we can not hope on self-therapy, but should seek medical treatment in time, make a clear diagnosis, and adopt a comprehensive treatment in order to effectively reduce the after-effects and shorten the time of recovery. For central facial paralysis, the primary disease should be actively treated.
