Summer weather is hot, some people are cool, very easy to induce facial paralysis. What are the causes of facial paralysis in summer? Got facial paralysis how to treat? How to avoid facial paralysis in summer? Get to know it with Xiaobian.
According to experts, in summer, when the air conditioner is used improperly, the temperature changes suddenly. The facial nerve causes stimulation, which leads to functional disorders of neural tube, including facial rigidity, numbness, salivation, mouth and eye deviation, which is called "facial paralysis" clinically.
How should we prevent and treat facial paralysis in summer?
Correct use of air conditioner
1.26 ℃ is the most suitable temperature: in summer, the air conditioning temperature should not be set too low, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference is too large, which is easy to cause dizziness, dry mouth, cough, runny nose and other discomfort, and may cause stroke in serious cases. Therefore, in general, it is better to adjust the air conditioner to about 26 ℃, and the indoor and outdoor temperature difference should not exceed 8 ℃, otherwise, it will increase the burden on the thermoregulatory center.
2. Never blow the air conditioner after sweating: when you have just taken a hot bath or exercise, your pores will open. Do not try to cool down for a while to blow a cold wind, or wash your face with cold water, which may cause vasoconstriction and facial paralysis. Therefore, the air conditioner should be turned on at least 10 minutes after entering the room from the hot outdoor.
3. The air conditioner can't directly blow to the body at any time: the air temperature of the air conditioner is much lower than the set temperature, so the air conditioner can't directly blow to the body at any time, especially at the face and joints! When the air conditioner is turned on, it's better to blow upward to avoid the cold air blowing directly to the body. People who are close to the air conditioner should sit in front of the air conditioner.
Pay attention to rest and improve immunity
Facial paralysis often occurs in the people who are over tired and have physical decline. Therefore, patients need to ensure sufficient rest time and improve sleep quality. To avoid long-term cold wind, usually pay attention to strengthen exercise, strengthen nutrition, enhance physical fitness, improve the health of the human body. At the same time, because the muscles of the eyes in the early stage of facial paralysis are paralyzed, it is suggested that the eyes should not be used as much as possible for non work or learning needs, and the forced use of the eyes is very harmful to the eyes, and it is easy to lead to poor local recovery and prolonged course of the disease.
Food therapy to prevent air conditioning disease
If you are in an air-conditioned room for a long time, you must focus on light, nutritious and digestible food.
You can eat foods rich in vitamin B, such as tomatoes, winter melons, cucumbers, papayas, apples, pineapples, pears, peaches, watermelon, grapes, beans, milk, green vegetables, etc. Tomato soup is recommended for air conditioning diet therapy, which can promote body fluid, relieve thirst, strengthen stomach, and effectively relieve dyspepsia and anorexia. Ginger tea has the functions of warming, dispersing cold, sweating and relieving exterior symptoms, and also can effectively prevent and treat air conditioning diseases.
Two misunderstandings in the treatment of facial paralysis
1. Is acupuncture as early as possible after facial paralysis?
At present, it is recommended to start acupuncture treatment immediately after diagnosis, no more than one week at the latest, otherwise it will affect their recovery. As seen in clinical observation, patients who come back for treatment more than two months after the onset of the disease have a very small chance of recovery.
2. Does facial paralysis treat also can very quickly recover?
Theoretically, facial paralysis is a kind of disease with a tendency of self-healing, but the ability of self-healing is very weak. It needs medicine and acupuncture to assist and induce. Clinically, there are also some patients who come to see a doctor several months after the onset of the disease, the curative effect is relatively poor. Especially in severe patients, if they can not get timely and correct treatment in the early stage of onset, they are prone to serious complications and sequelae.
Warm tip: with the popularity of air conditioning in public places and families, people who work and live in the air conditioning environment for a long time are likely to cause 'air conditioning diseases', such as nasal congestion, dizziness, sneezing, tinnitus, fatigue, memory loss, limb muscle and joint pain, skin allergy and other diseases. At ordinary times, we need to pay attention to the improvement of self resistance and the correct use of air conditioning. Do not be greedy for a while Cool, especially for the elderly, children and women.
