Patient's question:
Face paralysis began a few days ago, started acupunctureDoctor's answer:
The symptoms of facial paralysis are likely caused by peripheral facial paralysis, which is also known as acute facial nerve palsy. If the symptoms of acute peripheral facial paralysis appear, it is recommended to use corticosteroids for early treatment. Acupuncture is not advised during the acute phase, but active acupuncture treatment can be performed after the acute phase has subsided. Generally, acupuncture is chosen one to two weeks later for treatment.
