Most of the facial pain after facial paralysis recovery is considered to be due to incomplete recovery of nerve damage, sensory hypersensitivity and other reasons.
1. Incomplete recovery of nerve damage: Nerve repair is a slow process, and sensation will be affected to some extent during the repair process. Neurotrophic drugs such as vitamin B and methylcobalamin can be used. When the pain is severe, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and celecoxib can be used to improve the symptoms.
2. Sensory allergy: When the skin reacts strongly due to slight stimulation of the face, it is because facial paralysis is in the recovery period, and sensory allergy occurs at a certain stage, and the symptom of pain in the face due to pressure is a normal process of nerve repair, which is a sign of symptomatic improvement. Nerve rehabilitation should be continued at this time.
Pressing pain on the face after facial paralysis is usually a normal phenomenon and indicates relatively good nerve recovery. At this time, it is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions to continue neurological rehabilitation, such as medication, exercise of local muscles, and so on. However, if the pain worsens or does not improve for a long period of time, it is recommended to consult a doctor immediately to identify the cause and treat it aggressively.
