At half a year old, half of the face cannot move, how to deal with it?

Patient's question:

For three days, one side of the face can smile while the other side cannot. The hospital has prescribed a vitamin and a hormone medication, but the child cannot take the hormone medication because it is too bitter. What can be done? Are there other ways to supplement with hormone-like foods?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the main treatment method is acupuncture. It can be adjusted based on specific conditions, including warm needle acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and should be combined with facial massage. Facial expression muscle rehabilitation training is an indispensable part of the treatment, mainly involving exercises such as brow lifting, eyelid closure, nose wrinkling, showing teeth, lip pursing, and cheek puffing.
Medication treatment mainly involves taking neurotrophic drugs, such as ganglioside, vitamin B, and mouse nerve growth factor. During medication, avoid spicy and stimulating foods like liquor, garlic, seafood, strong tea, and spicy hot pot. Apply a warm towel to the face 3-4 times a night, and avoid washing your face with cold water. In cold weather, pay attention to keeping your head warm.
Eat more fresh vegetables, coarse grains, soy products, jujubes, and lean meat.
