Patient's question:
A child who is 4 years old. 4 months ago, a sty grew on the right eye. After the sty healed, the right eyelid started drooping halfway.In the morning, when just waking up, it feels a bit better, but after 3 to 5 minutes, the right eyelid droops again. Eating, exercise, and vision are all normal. The right eye feels slightly bulging.
Treated at hospitals such as Wuhan Tongji Hospital, Wuhan General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region, Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Maternal and Child Health Hospital, no definitive diagnosis or effective treatment method has been found.
Doctor's answer:
After the affected facial expression muscles become active, effective facial expression muscle rehabilitation training can significantly improve the therapeutic effect. In facial paralysis, the main affected facial expression muscles include the frontalis muscle, orbicularis oculi muscle, levator labii superioris muscle, zygomaticus muscle, levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle, orbicularis oris muscle, and quadratus labii inferioris muscle. Functional training of these main muscles can promote the recovery of motor function in the entire facial expression muscles. During training, the following treatment methods should be selected based on the patient's different symptoms. Train 2 to 3 times daily, with each exercise repeated 10 to 20 times.
