Patient's question:
My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The key is, I don't know what's going on, but she just seems to be in bad spirits. What are the symptoms of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
It is caused by cerebral blood vessel obstruction, poor facial blood circulation, and abnormal nerve conduction in the affected area. The disease onset is sudden, with symptoms such as facial paralysis, slurred speech, and drooping mouth corners. It may be caused by trigeminal nerve disorders and requires local treatments such as massage, heat application, blockage therapy, and acupuncture. Oral administration of blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving traditional Chinese medicine is also recommended. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods during daily life.
