Patient's question:
Right facial paralysis, a lingering aftereffect from (crooked mouth) in childhood, the right side cannot frown, raise eyebrows, or blink. Onset time was 2000, when I was 6 years old. In the morning while eating, I noticed I couldn't chew food normally. I was treated with traditional Chinese medicine and massage, and even had yellow eel () applied. There was some improvement, but it wasn't fully cured. Later, I stopped seeking treatment.Doctor's answer:
Currently, there are many methods for treating facial paralysis. Commonly effective treatments include applying ointments (most of which are secret recipes, and many are quite effective, such as Mianwan Kang), acupuncture (which is also very effective, but it's best to find an experienced elderly doctor; otherwise, if the wrong nerve is pricked, it's inevitable to leave regrets), oral traditional Chinese medicine regulation, Western medicine treatment, and so on. There are also some common physical therapies, but many can be used as supplementary treatments. In short, as long as the treatment is timely and the methods are appropriate, it is definitely possible to be cured. Maintaining a positive mindset is even more beneficial for the treatment.
