Bell’s Palsy Treatment
in Bhubaneswar
Understanding Parotid Surgery
Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes sudden weakness in the muscles on one side of the face. This weakness makes half of the face appear to droop, with smiles becoming one-sided and the eye on the affected side resisting closure. While the onset can be alarming, the good news is that, in most cases, the weakness is temporary and significantly improves over weeks.
Bell’s Palsy results from inflammation or compression of the facial nerve, which controls the muscles of the face. This can be triggered by various factors, including viral infections. The primary symptoms include facial drooping, difficulty closing the eye, drooling, and altered taste. Prompt treatment is essential to enhance recovery and prevent complications.
Treatment for Bell’s Palsy
- Medications: Corticosteroids are often prescribed to reduce inflammation and swelling, improving the chances of a full recovery.
- Physical Therapy: Facial exercises can help maintain muscle tone and stimulate nerve function.
- Eye Care: Proper eye care is crucial, as the inability to close the eye increases the risk of drying and injury. Lubricating eye drops and eye patches may be recommended.
- Surgical Options: In rare cases where facial nerve damage is extensive, surgical intervention might be considered.
