Patient's question:
Hello Doctor! My child is three and a half years old. On June 8, 2006, his father hit him a few times on the ears, and later we noticed that his face was swollen. The next day, his mouth was also when he spoke, and it was very when he smiled, but there was no pain. He went to People's Hospital and saw a neurosurgeon, who prescribed some B12 vitamin injections and medication. He has been taking the medication for two days now. I would like to ask the doctor what I should do. I am very sad and in pain. How can I make my child better? I hope you can answer this question for me.Doctor's answer:
(1) Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (BFGF)This drug can activate the suppressed cell activity in damaged areas, promote the differentiation of nerve cells, induce axonal growth, enrich nerve distribution, support the survival and growth of nerves, delay the death of nerve cells, and promote the growth, proliferation, and normal physiological activities of myofibroblasts associated with peripheral nerves, enhancing the activity of nerves and muscles.
Usage: Dissolve in physiological saline or (sterile water for injection) before use.
① Intramuscular injection: once daily, 1600–4000 IU per time, with a course of 2–4 weeks.
② Acupuncture point injection: local points such as Yangbai, Taiyang, Sibai, Jiache, Chengjiang, and Quan, 1600 IU per time, 2–3 points per session, once every other day.
(2) Injectid Cranial Nerve Growth Factor
This drug improves blood circulation in brain tissue, ensuring adequate nutrition supply to the brain and nervous system. It promotes the transformation, uptake, and release of neurotransmitters, directly supplementing neurotransmitters and their precursors, shortening the time of neural reflexes, and improving reflexes. It protects nerves from damage caused by chemical toxins and viral infections.
Usage:
① Intramuscular injection: 1–2 vials (2–4 ml) per time, once daily or twice daily, with a course of once a month.
② Acupuncture point injection: 1–2 vials (2–4 ml) per time, once daily or twice daily, with a course of once a month.
(3) Methycobal Injection (Cobalamide Preparation)
This drug can inhibit the occurrence of degenerative nerves in neuropathology and electrophysiology. In a model experiment where guinea pig facial nerves were compressed, causing facial nerve paralysis, the eye-harlock reflex during the nerve regeneration process, electromyography, and histological studies demonstrated that this drug has the same recovery effect on paralysis as steroids.
