Patient's question:
My father got facial paralysis and underwent electrotherapy at an old hospital for half a month. The therapist also prescribed medication. In the past two days, he has been experiencing severe dizziness and sometimes cannot even stand steadily. What could be the reason for this?Doctor's answer:
It is Bell's palsy, which requires local treatments such as massage, heat application, closed-loop therapy, and acupuncture. Oral Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is also prescribed.Avoid spicy food, alcohol, and cold foods during daily life. If the effect is not good, minimally invasive surgery (nerve transection) can be performed at the hospital.
We know that Bell's palsy has a significant impact on children. If it is not treated in time or if the treatment method is incorrect, it progresses rapidly and can cause great harm to the patient. Therefore, it is crucial to seek professional medical treatment at a regular hospital. This is the key.
