If you have facial paralysis and want to do self - treatment, you can try the following methods.
First, do facial muscle exercises. Smile, frown, close your eyes tightly and puff your cheeks as much as possible. These exercises can help keep the facial muscles active and prevent muscle atrophy. Do these exercises several times a day.
Second, you can use a warm towel to apply hot compress on the affected side of the face. The warmth can promote blood circulation and may relieve some discomfort. Do this two or three times a day for about 15 - 20 minutes each time.
It's important to note that these self - care methods can only play a supporting role. If the condition does not improve or gets worse, it's necessary to seek medical help as soon as possible.
