Patient's question:
I've had facial paralysis for 12 days and have had acupuncture four times, but I haven't fully recovered yet. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is a relatively complex facial disease, with most cases caused by factors such as facial cold exposure, physical injury, or viral invasion. Initially, Bell's palsy manifests as inflammation of the facial nerve, at which point no obvious facial symptoms have yet formed. As the condition progresses, patients may exhibit typical symptoms such as drooping eyelids and crooked mouth and eyes.
