Question 1

how can i treat facial injuries and disorders?

Accepted Answer

See a MD: That's a very vague question. Any specific answer will require a more specific question...

Question 2

do a lot of people get facial injuries and disorders?

Accepted Answer

Yes?: That is a very, very vague question.  All kinds of facial injuries and "disorders" happen every day.  So the answer is yes, but a very vague yes....

Question 3

what is the rehab like following facial injuries?

Accepted Answer

Depends: As usual, it depends on the injury.  If we're talking about just contusion without fracture, then just time, perhaps warm compresses to help resolve bruising, and pain relievers.  If there are fractures, typically it's just time and stabilization.  Fractures involving the mandible and maxilla, or dental fractures require a lot more care and rehabilitation.

Question 4

what sort of disorder is a facial injury or disorder?

Accepted Answer

Facial injury/disord: A variety of facial disorders can exist and range from congenital to acquired (vascular, infectious, autoimmune, metabolic, inflammatory, neoplastic, degenerative, environmental, idiopathic). Treatment is based on determining the etiology.

Question 5

can you tell someone has a disorder by looking at their face?

Accepted Answer

It depends: It depends on the kind of disorder you're talking about.  If acne or sunburn, then yes you could tell this by looking at one's face.  Disorders like diabetes or heart disease, not likely.  You might be able to see that someone seems sad or anxious, but even those would not be definite signs either because they might be normally passing responses to precipitating events.

Question 6

please help! what is the congenital facial paresy disease and how is it treated?

Accepted Answer

Facial palsy: I assume you are asking about facial palsy or paralysis. Congenitalmeans present at birth. Birth trauma, especially if lots of head molding or a forceps delivery can injure facial nerve. There are also a couple of conditions with facial nerve involvement at birth - Dystrophia myotonica and Mobius syndrome. Treatment may be anything from nothing to Botox to surgical intervention for nerve repair.

Question 7

how do doctors diagnose mental health disorders if you can't see them like you can see an injury?

Accepted Answer

Mental health: disorders have certain signs and symptoms.  By talking to the patient, reviewing records, and gathering information from people who know the patient these can be confirmed or disconfirmed.  In addition there are psychological tests that help with diagnosis just as laboratory tests help with physical illness diagnosis.

Question 8

what sort of disease is a craniofacial injury?

Accepted Answer

Not a disease: A craniofacial injury implies an injury to the face and skull. This is typically seen after motor vehicle accidents and trauma to the head from falls. Multiple facial bones may be broken and require repair. These injuries often require treatment by several specialists, including plastic surgeons, craniofacial surgeons, trauma surgeons and ophthalmologists.

Question 9

what to do if i have an injury in my face. help please?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info.: If serious, you may need to seek medical care. I am sorry, but you haven't given us any info to go after here.

Question 10

can you get a disease if someone farts in your face?

Accepted Answer

Face fart: If an individual were to pass gas on someone's pillow (without wearing any clothing), it is possible to spread fecal matter onto the pillow case and that matter could contain bacterial or viral organisms. Mind you, just cause you don't see the fecal matter, doesn't mean it is not there. If they wear clothing when they fart, the clothing will absorb the fecal matter.
