Hello everyone, I am Lu Hongbin, a Chinese medicine doctor. Can facial paralysis heal itself? This is a question that patients and friends are more concerned about. Today's issue will specifically answer this question. First, let’s talk about the causes of facial paralysis.
1. Traumatic facial paralysis
The number of patients with this kind of facial paralysis is relatively small, mainly due to skull base fracture , facial trauma, surgery and drug injection in the facial nerve distribution area, resulting in drug poisoning . Such as injecting alcohol, penicillin and botulinum toxin .
2. Idiopathic facial paralysis
Fatiguness and coldness behind the ears are also the causes of facial paralysis in life. There are the largest number of patients with this type of facial paralysis, so we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and not be too tired, but we should also pay attention to the increase or decrease of clothes to prevent the occurrence of colds.
3. Neurogenic facial paralysis
Cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial and non-traumatic neurogenic sources are the main causes of this facial paralysis. Therefore, patients with cerebrovascular diseases must pay attention to the treatment of their own diseases to avoid inducing facial paralysis.
4. Tumor facial paralysis
Although the tumor itself and surgical resection are very small, this does not mean that there is no such possibility. Tumors that induce facial paralysis mainly include basal aneurysms, skull base tumors, acoustic neuromas, , parotid tumors and jugular bulb tumors.
In fact, facial paralysis can also be divided into two categories. If you have peripheral facial paralysis , this symptom of is mainly caused by viral infection and is often induced after catching a cold. As long as you take the correct hormone and antiviral drugs on time, and supplemented with nutritional and nerve drugs, most of them can be cured. Even without medication, patients can basically recover, and only a very small number may leave behind sequelae. If
is central facial paralysis, means that the patient has primary diseases such as cerebral infarction . In this case, whether the paralysis can be cured depends on the degree of recovery of the primary disease, and it is generally difficult to recover by itself.
If facial paralysis does not recover as soon as possible, it will also cause certain harm. The first part of the harm of facial paralysis is eyes . Because the eyes cannot be closed, dust is easy to enter, causing sting or damage to the eyes. If facial paralysis patients do not protect their eyes, it may also develop ulcers, intraocular infections, and damage the cornea. In addition, the patient's facial nerve paralysis leads to inconvenience of chewing and reduced food consumption, which can cause potential nutritional disorders in patients with facial paralysis.
So to be on the safe side, it is recommended that patients with facial paralysis undergo medication, and acupuncture can be treated if necessary. Whether facial paralysis can be recovered by itself depends mainly on whether the disease is the primary disease and the severity of the disease.
Therefore, when treating facial paralysis, the contraindications and causes of facial paralysis should be understood to effectively prevent the development of the disease. Of course, in daily life, patients with facial paralysis should maintain a good attitude. A good and positive attitude can help fuel the fire on the road to health.
