May 2009 - Living Healthfully

From time to time, it's a good thing perhaps for me to lead you to my old articles. I thought that some of you might want to revisit them once again, especially my neuroanatomy topics.

Students in the healthcare profession might get some benefits from it, or add/ modify the things I've written.

Bell's Palsy Management

May 17th 2009 06:36

Managing Bell's Palsy involves the elimination of the cause. Anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics can aid in addressing the causes of facial nerve lesion. But taking such drugs has to be under physician's prescription. Vitamin B complex also aids in maintaining good integrity of the nerves.

Facial exercises and electrotherapy are very important in preventing progression as well as restoring voluntary control of facial muscles. These management are readily rendered by physiotherapists and rehabilitation experts.

Bell's Palsy

May 16th 2009 04:12

Karyl of Mandaluyong asks: "What is Bell's Palsy?"

Bell's Palsy is a manifestation of facial nerve damage. This nerve (the seventh cranial nerve) originates from our brainstem, and is responsible for innervating our muscles of facial expression. In the event that the facial nerve is lesioned, we can expect paralysis of the facial muscles. Sagging of the face on the affected side is common. One cannot smile properly nor raise his eyebrow significantly. Drooling of saliva is observabable. An individual affected by this condition cannot effectively close his eye on the affected side, and so dryness and infection of the eye may ensue. The facial nerve also controls autonomic functions like lacrimation and salivation, and so such functions can be affected at times. Taste can also be impaired in Bell's Palsy, if a branch of the nerve supplying the tongue is impaired.
