What is viral facial paralysis and what causes it?

Most of the viral facial paralysis suffered by patients is caused by their own wind, and then caused by viral infections such as otitis media, colds, etc., and patients can also be caused by long-term fatigue, mood swings, and fright. For patients with facial paralysis, this condition can be done as long as it is timely. Therefore, patients should relax their mood and adhere to the ** of the disease.

Extended: Viral facial paralysis**.

For facial paralysis, the effect of general Chinese medicine is better than that of Western medicine, and patients must pay attention to the right medicine when they are paralyzed, and facial paralysis is best within 7 days of the initial onset, this lesion has not been fully formed, good, if there is no time, or the method is not right, it is necessary to take Chinese medicine for a long time, and then cooperate with acupuncture.

Patients should also pay attention to the exercise of their facial muscles when they are ill, and when they are usually fine, patients can do some facial exercises in the mirror, and then they can also apply hot compresses to their affected parts, and then cooperate with the use of medicine, the patient's symptoms can be **. Facial exercises for facial paralysis include bulging cheeks, opening the mouth wide, closing the eyes, opening the eyes, laughing, etc., and the patient can exercise several times a day.

Viral facial paralysis is commonly referred to as facial neuritis, which is considered to be caused by a viral infection according to various studies. Most patients present with paralysis of half of the facial muscles, enlarged eye fissures, difficulty closing eyes, shallow nasolabial folds, and weakness in chewing. Patients are mainly antiviral** in the acute phase, and the patient is given medication, and after one week it is recommended to give acupuncture assistance**, which helps to recover from facial paralysis.

What causes facial paralysis Tumors Generally speaking, facial neuromas and middle ear tumors in humans can cause facial paralysis. Middle ear cancer can invade all over the nerves, causing facial paralysis, and jugular spheroid tumors can also cause facial paralysis. Rental Limb Pickpocketing Virus Infection Viral infection is the cause of facial paralysis.

It is usually caused by the herpes zoster virus and is characterized by the presence of auricular herpes in patients with facial paralysis who experience severe earache and have a poor prognosis. Facial paralysis caused by acute and chronic otitis media is more common, such as middle ear cholesteatoma, if cholesteatoma erodes and destroys the facial nerve bone canal and directly compresses the facial nerve, it may lead to facial paralysis, which is also a common cause of facial paralysis. Trauma Some patients have facial paralysis caused by a basilar skull fracture after a car accident, and a fracture of the basilar skull or temporal bone can affect the facial nerve in the person, resulting in facial paralysis.

After the trauma, the focus is often on saving lives, so that the facial paralysis will be seen in the starvation shed, and if the facial paralysis occurs at that time, the injury may be serious. Symptoms of facial paralysis Blink Movements This is a more typical symptom that should be noted for in your life. Careful observation of the patient's blink shows that bilateral blink movements are asymmetrical.

If the patient is asked to perform blink movements, the blink movements on the mild paralyzed side are slow and not entirely one of the clinical symptoms of facial paralysis.

Facial paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy. According to the ** of facial paralysis, it can be divided into two types: central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis: 1. Central facial paralysis:

**: It is caused by brainstem and brain lesions, such as cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage, brain trauma, brain tumor, brainstem inflammation, etc.

Central facial palsy is paralysis below the cleft of the eye, paralysis without frontal part, and patients can do movements such as frowning, frowning and closing eyes; It is often accompanied by symptoms such as slurred speech, numbness of half of the body, and paralysis of half of the body.

2. Peripheral facial paralysis: also known as facial neuritis, it is an acute non-purulent inflammation of the facial nerve in the inner segment of the nerve tube above the stem foramen. When we usually talk about facial paralysis, we mostly refer to facial neuritis.

The clinical manifestations are mainly characterized by crooked mouth and eyes, which are mostly unilateral, and bilateral onset is rare. The onset is acute, the facial expression muscles on the affected side are paralyzed, the forehead wrinkles disappear, the eyebrows cannot be frowned, the eyebrow is drooping, the eyelid fissure is enlarged, the eyelids cannot be closed or closed incompletely, the nasolabial folds are flat, the corners of the mouth are drooping, and the face is pulled to the unaffected side.

The cause of facial neuritis is not yet understood, and it may be caused by the spasm of vegetative microvessels of the facial nerve caused by cold wind blowing on the face, causing local tissue ischemia and hypoxia. Others believe it is related to a viral infection, while others believe that it may be an immune response.

The cause of facial paralysis is facial blood circulation disorder caused by facial stroke, resulting in facial ischemia and hypoxia, which leads to inflammation and even necrosis of facial nerve paralysis, so that facial muscles are not controlled by the brain.

First, the main **.

1. Causes of central facial paralysis: usually caused by cerebrovascular disease, intracranial tumor, brain trauma and inflammation.

2. Causes of peripheral facial paralysis: the exact ** is not known. The narrow and long bony facial nerve canal makes the facial nerve easy to compress and isochemia once inflammatory edema occurs, and the pathological changes are facial nerve edema and demyelination, and axonal degeneration can occur in severe cases.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 infection may be the cause of facial neuritema**, and infections such as Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, and human herpesvirus types 6 and 7 have also been reported. Varicella-zoster virus infection may lead to Ramsayhunt syndrome (Hunter's syndrome), and the microvascular spasm of the vegetative facial nerve caused by cold on the head and face may also be one of the following.

2. Predisposing factors.

Patients with facial paralysis due to cold factors can also be seen in clinical practice.

Facial paralysis is only a symptom, and paralysis of facial muscles is called facial paralysis. In terms of medical diagnosis, there are two main types, one is idiopathic facial neuritis, and the other is Hunter's syndrome, that is, facial paralysis caused by herpes zoster virus infection. Facial paralysis caused by viral infection has particularity, because the herpes zoster virus invades the facial nerve and destroys the function of the facial nerve to cause facial paralysis, so when these patients are sick, there are often vesicles in the pinna or behind the ears, that is, herpes zoster.

Facial paralysis caused by herpes zoster virus infection of the facial nerve is usually more severe than in patients without viral infection, because the disease is more important and more prompt**. Acupuncture** is also effective for this type of facial paralysis, for example, in the early stage of viral infection, patients will have pain, herpes will appear red and swollen, then acupuncture and bloodletting can be used to effectively clear heat and detoxify.

In the later stage of the viral infection, the symptoms of facial distortion can also be taken with acupuncture. Therefore, acupuncture** is also effective for facial paralysis caused by herpes virus infection.

Viral facial paralysis mainly refers to symptoms such as pain behind the ears or facial swelling caused by viral infection. The main causes of viral facial paralysis are rheumatism, otitis media, brain diseases, or the invasion of cold winds.

At present, there are many kinds of traditional Chinese medicine for viral facial paralysis, but most of them are simply through the meridians and activate the meridians to dispel weathering, which is also the main reason for the sequelae of many facial paralysis patients. Therefore, in addition to the drugs that activate the meridians and dispel the weather, the traditional Chinese medicine for viral facial paralysis needs to take some drugs with nutrition and nerve repair, so as to be fundamentally successful.

Hello viral facial paralysis is caused by the invasion of the virus, which leads to demyelination of the patient's facial nerve, causing patients to have symptoms of inflexible facial muscle movement and facial muscle paralysis. Facial paralysis caused by viral infections is acute onset and peaks around the third day of the disease. In addition to facial muscle mobility, patients may also have pain behind the ears and, if caused by the herpes virus, clusters of herpes zoster virus.

If it is caused by the herpes virus, it is also necessary to use acupuncture, cupping, bloodletting, and external antiviral drugs, such as ganciclovir and other antivirals**. Depending on the severity of the patient's condition, patients should be given intravenous hormones in the absence of contraindications to reduce edema of the facial nerve.

The patient should be given drugs to nourish the facial nerve**, such as oral methylcobalamin and B vitamins, and when the patient's condition is stabilized, it should be carried out by acupuncture and moxibustion about a week after the onset of the disease** to promote the recovery of the patient's facial paralysis. You can also choose other **** means to help recovery, such as ultra-short wave, massage, etc., which can play a certain auxiliary role.

The face has been blown by the cold wind of the air conditioner fan, which will lead to viral facial paralysis, and there is also a viral infection, which causes you to have viral facial paralysis, with crooked mouth and pain behind the ears, which causes some inflammation and leads to problems in the supply of blood vessels.

Li Yan introduced that traditional Chinese medicine believes that facial paralysis is: loss of qi and blood, lack of righteous qi leading to internal and external instability, emptiness of yang and yin veins, and wind evil taking advantage of the void to enter, in the veins, causing meridian qi congestion, qi and blood blockage, and loss of meridian nourishment. Traditional Chinese medicine also has a long history in facial paralysis.

At the same time, pay attention to proper rest and pay attention to the uninterrupted warmth of the face. You can wear a mask when you go out, and do not go near the window when sleeping to avoid further cold. Be careful not to wash your face with cold water, avoid blowing cold air, pay attention to weather changes, and add clothes in time to prevent colds.

Facial nerve blockage, blockage, I know a little bit about this, why do you need me to improve it.

In the outpatient clinic, some patients are because of the sequelae of plastic surgery, some are because of viral infection, and some people are paralyzed because of blowing the air conditioner and fan, but the symptoms are similar, the face is asymmetrical, the mouth and eyes are crooked, and most of them wear masks in order to cover up, and they need to be active!

If you have facial paralysis, Yang Yining said that there are several causes of facial paralysis: first, it is a viral infection; second, it is the spasm of the blood vessels of the vegetative nerves of the face due to the wind and cold; Third, it is rheumatic facial paralysis, which is caused by poor flow of qi and blood; In addition, facial paralysis may also be induced by emotional causes or cold.

Facial paralysis simply refers to the occurrence of symptoms like paralysis of the face. That's why it's called facial paralysis. There are many causes of facial paralysis, which can be caused by infection, caused by the source of the disease, and some other causes that we cannot expect in life.

Therefore, facial paralysis is a more complex condition. On the basis of dialectical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, through the mobilization of the meridians of the human body, the effect of straightening up, activating qi and activating blood, and demobilizing paralysis can be achieved, so that nerve cells can be active, accelerate blood circulation, improve immune function, promote the repair of nerve cells, regulate nervous system function, repair damaged nerves, and initially control the disease, so that the patient's symptoms can be basically effectively controlled, and the purpose of gradual improvement can be achieved.
