How to treat facial paralysis in pregnant women

Pregnant women have relatively poor physical constitution during pregnancy. If they do not keep warm when sleeping at night, they are easily affected by wind evil, which may cause facial paralysis. This is also a common symptom among pregnant women. One side of the cheek will often be affected, especially the right side of the face. Facial paralysis is more common. If facial paralysis occurs, timely treatment should be sought and dietary adjustments should be strengthened.

Facial paralysis diet

1. The contraindications of facial paralysis require patients to make some adjustments to their diet, mainly to help treat the disease. Patients should avoid eating irritating foods. Patients with facial paralysis must avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as onions, garlic, leeks, mustard, five-spice powder, curry powder, etc.

2. Patients should quit smoking and drinking, because tobacco and alcohol have a relatively strong stimulating effect, so patients must quit smoking and drinking. Drinking too much alcohol can easily cause vitamin B deficiency and become a trigger for neuritis, especially white wine, which has a high alcohol content. Therefore, patients with facial paralysis must control their drinking and not drink too much, which is very helpful for the treatment of facial paralysis.

3. An appropriate amount of calcium supplementation in the diet of patients with facial paralysis is very necessary for the recovery of the disease. In daily life, we should also supplement calcium regularly, which is also effective in treating facial paralysis. Some facial paralysis is caused by neuritis due to vitamin B deficiency. Therefore, a long-term preference for certain foods, such as refined white rice, results in vitamin B deficiency. Therefore, in the treatment of facial paralysis, you can also add some foods containing vitamin Be group in appropriate amounts.

4. Patients with facial paralysis can eat more foods that can supplement B vitamins and some calcium-supplementing foods that can promote muscle and nerve recovery, such as: fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, fish, etc.
