What causes facial paralysis in children? What is the cause of facial paralysis in children?

Most children have a history of viral infections, such as colds and pharyngitis, before the onset of facial paralysis. Some children are also caused by dysfunction caused by inflammation of the periosteum of the pastoid foramen behind the ear, which compresses the facial nerve and causes a lack of blood**. For example, some people with otitis media may also have facial paralysis.

The facial nerve is affected by infection and perifacial canal inflammation, or myelin lesions of the facial nerve, or ischemia of the facial nerve due to infarction caused by thrombosis.

The causes of facial paralysis in children are very complex, as long as there are the following causes. One is the infectious factor of inflammation, such as facial neuritis caused by viral infection or bacterial infection; Secondly, trauma and facial paralysis trauma in children, in addition to temporal bone fracture trauma, some neonates may also be related to birth canal injury; third, neoplastic diseases, such as facial nerve sheath tumors or facial neurofibromas, which are common in children; Fourth, congenital dysplasia is mainly caused by the herpes zoster virus, which is characterized by the appearance of auricular herpes on one side of the patient with facial paralysis. Later, people with facial paralysis experience severe earache, which is a symptom of facial paralysis caused by a viral infection.

Of course, acute and chronic otitis media can also cause facial paralysis. Middle ear cholesteatoma is very common. If cholesteatoma erodes and damages the facial nerve canal, direct compression of the facial nerve may cause facial paralysis.

Cold weather is also an important cause of facial paralysis, which is also the reason for the relatively high incidence of facial paralysis in winter. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to keeping warm, especially the face, to avoid facial paralysis. Facial paralysis caused by a specific disease is best examined in a hospital.

The most common cause of facial paralysis in children is facial nerve damage, which may be caused by trauma and bumps, middle ear mastoiditis, and children's immunity is relatively low when they are also susceptible to viral infection, which is the main reason for the formation of facial paralysis in children, and congenital malformations can also lead to the symptoms of facial paralysis in children. If children suddenly have facial paralysis symptoms, they should also go to the hospital for active **, and in the acute stage, they can be given nutritional nerves, which can be used for intramuscular injection of methylcobalamin or oral methylcobalamin, vitamin B12 and other drugs to nurture the nerves**. In the later stage, it can be used to help the recovery of children's facial paralysis through traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, which is a disease of reverse.

Common facial paralysis** is mainly caused by cold, after cold, the body's immunity decreases, which gives the virus latent in the body the opportunity to invade the facial nerve, once the facial nerve is inflamed, the symptoms of facial paralysis will appear! In addition, repeated colds, tonsillitis, and mumps are also common causes of facial paralysis in children! There are still a small number of people with facial paralysis will be reversed, and the reason is nothing more than the congenital stenosis of the facial nerve canal!

Now with the improvement of living standards, the probability of children's facial paralysis is also increasing year by year, as a national chain of facial paralysis ** institutions Chen's facial paralysis reminds parents: children should not play games for a long time, look at mobile phones, stay up late, pay attention to wind and warmth, and strengthen the exercise of resistance!

Because the child is still very young, when the child first starts to have facial paralysis, the child will only feel uncomfortable on his face and will not feel that he has any disease. If mothers are uncomfortable when their children are not feeling comfortable on their faces, they should pay attention to it and don't miss the best time for their children to have facial paralysis. So what causes sudden facial paralysis in children, and what causes sudden facial paralysis in small children?

Let's find out together.

Sudden facial paralysis is caused by factors such as infection, wind chill, nerve demyelination, trauma, vascular problems, etc. Facial paralysis is a common and frequent disease that occurs in children, as is facial expression and motor dysfunction, and the general symptom is abnormal mouth and eyes. The face of a person with the disease is usually unable to perform the most basic movements, such as raising the eyebrows, closing the eyes, and puffing out the mouth.

The cause of sudden facial paralysis in children is first of all emotional, children are very playful and active, if angry, scared, nervous, etc., it is easy to suffer from facial paralysis.

Once the child has facial paralysis, it should be found as soon as possible, and the child's facial paralysis should be better identified. Because children are young, the immunity in the body is not strong enough, and the blowing is easy to make the facial muscles stiff, so the air conditioner should be blown less in daily life, and mothers must pay attention to protection. When you need to go out in cold weather, you must take cold protection measures, especially avoid blowing cold wind for a long time, on the one hand, to avoid being invaded by wind cold, on the other hand, the cold wind will cause facial muscle stiffness, and even cause facial paralysis.

Pediatric facial paralysis is a type of facial nerve palsy. Causes: Congenital developmental problems; Because of some viral infections; The child has some neoplastic diseases, etc. Caution: Be careful of getting cold; Don't get too tired, etc.

The mother will be on the ditch and leave the family white and yin. Parents are most worried about the health of their children, but people are very fragile in childhood, and they are easy to get sick if they don't pay attention to it, and children with facial paralysis will also suffer, such as trauma, viral infection, cold, etc., which can cause the occurrence of facial paralysis, so if we want to effectively prevent and ** this disease, we need a thorough understanding of its specific causes, and we must not relax in the occurrence of this disease, so, what is the problem with pediatric facial paralysis?

1. Trauma. Trauma is a major cause of facial paralysis, and some patients with facial paralysis are facial paralysis caused by basilar skull fracture after a car accident, and a fracture of the basilar skull or temporal bone affects the facial nerve and causes facial paralysis. It is worth mentioning that after trauma, the symptoms of facial paralysis are often ignored by focusing on saving lives, which is an important factor causing facial paralysis caused by trauma.

2. Viral infection.

Viral infections are one of the most common causes of facial paralysis. It is mainly caused by the herpes zoster virus, which is characterized by the appearance of auricular herpes in patients with facial paralysis on one side, after which patients with facial paralysis will feel severe earache, which is a symptom of facial paralysis caused by viral infection.

3. Acute and chronic otitis media.

Otitis media can also cause facial paralysis, often with middle ear cholesteatoma, which can cause facial paralysis if it erodes and destroys the osseous canal of the facial nerve.

Fourth, cold. Cold is also an important cause of facial paralysis, which is why the incidence of facial paralysis is higher in winter. Therefore, everyone should pay attention to keeping warm, especially the face, to avoid facial paralysis.

Through the above introduction, we should understand what is going on with pediatric facial paralysis, and we should actively pay attention to the above aspects in our daily life, and try to avoid suffering from paralysis. For patients with facial paralysis, we must carefully find out the specific cause of our disease, and then treat the symptoms, so as to get rid of the troubles brought by the disease as soon as possible.

1. Congenital causes: congenital facial paralysis is caused by the central nervous system leading to local hemangioma or abnormal development of local facial nerve during the development of the fetus, resulting in facial paralysis at birth, slow recovery, and may even be lifelong facial paralysis, which cannot return to normal;

2. Acquired causes: Most children's facial paralysis is acquired, which is usually divided into central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis. 1. Central facial paralysis is caused by the presence of tumors or intracranial hemorrhage in the cranial to compress the facial nerve, resulting in facial paralysis, which requires active primary disease, after the tumor and hematoma are eliminated, the local facial nerve is no longer compressed, and the symptoms of facial paralysis will gradually improve and recover.

2. Peripheral facial paralysis is mostly due to viral infection resulting in facial nerve congestion, edema and demyelination-like changes, resulting in facial muscle paralysis, which requires active anti-inflammatory, antiviral**, and at the same time with the use of hormonal nutrition nerve drugs, and during the recovery period, it can basically return to normal with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, massage, physiotherapy, etc.

Acupuncture is not recommended for children, and Dr. Wang's facial paralysis is still authoritative and belongs to the provincial intangible cultural heritage.
