Sequelae of facial paralysis is a disease left after facial nerve paralysis without timely treatment or poor treatment effect, which can be treated by medication, physical therapy, surgery and so on.
Facial paralysis sequelae are mainly manifested by facial muscle paralysis, which may result in the inability to show facial expression on one’s own, the size of the eyes, and the inability to close the lips and mouth. Treatment of facial palsy sequelae is mainly to improve the symptoms and control the development of the disease, such as botulinum toxin type A injection, which can relieve facial muscle spasm. B vitamins can also be used to promote nerve recovery, such as vitamin B1 and B6.
The use of physical therapy such as localized hot compresses, infrared irradiation, short-wave irradiation, laser irradiation, etc., also plays a role in the recovery of facial palsy sequelae.
The use of medication should follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid aggravating the condition. For those who are not well treated with medication, surgical treatment can be used, such as microvascular decompression of facial nerve, peripheral neurotomy and so on.
Patients with facial paralysis should seek timely medical treatment to avoid sequelae. For those who have suffered from facial palsy, rehabilitation therapy should be carried out under the guidance of specialized doctors to promote recovery.
