Peripheral facial palsy may need to be treated with hormones or sedative hormones, while central facial palsy does not require treatment with hormones. Peripheral facial palsy refers to inflammation and edema of the facial nerve in the extracranial segment, resulting in paralysis of the patient’s facial muscles. In the acute stage, if the facial palsy is moderate or severe and there is no contraindication for hormone treatment, the patient should be given hormones, such as oral methylprednisolone tablets or dexamethasone to improve the facial nerve edema. At the same time, patients should be treated with drugs that nourish the facial nerve and supplement B vitamins, such as oral vitamin B12 or methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin. If the patient’s peripheral facial palsy is caused by a viral infection, antiviral treatment with acyclovir is also required.
