How to treat facial neuritis

Treatment of facial neuritis typically involves multiple approaches aimed at reducing inflammation, promoting nerve function recovery, and preventing complications. During the acute phase, physical therapies such as warm compresses and infrared radiation can be used to improve local blood circulation and facilitate the resolution of inflammation. Medication is also essential; corticosteroids are commonly prescribed to reduce inflammation and edema, while neurotrophic agents such as B vitamins help promote nerve regeneration. Physical therapy and acupuncture may be beneficial for restoring muscle function. During the rehabilitation phase, patients can perform exercises such as chewing, closing the eyes, and puffing the cheeks to accelerate recovery. Throughout treatment, patients should actively follow their doctor's recommendations, keep the face warm, avoid exposure to wind and cold, and maintain a positive mindset and healthy lifestyle habits to support recovery.
