Patient's question:
Hello, recently due to the heat and the reason of blowing air conditioning, I developed facial paralysis, and my entire face became deformed. My eyelids and corners of my mouth drooped downward, and even when eating, food would drip out, making it very unattractive. I didn't even want to go out.Doctor's answer:
The root cause of facial paralysis lies in the misalignment and distortion of the cervical vertebrae, which compresses the nerves, leading to nerve spasms and subsequent facial nerve paralysis. This results in complete facial muscle paralysis, characterized by the disappearance of forehead wrinkles, widened eye fissures, flattened nasolabial folds, drooping corners of the mouth, and deviation of the mouth corner to the healthy side when smiling.Recommendation: Consider acupuncture, massage, and the use of traditional Chinese herbal medicine such as Qian Zheng San for treatment. Do not give up exercise just because of the hot weather. Engage in appropriate physical activity to strengthen the body, listen to light and cheerful music, maintain a calm and joyful mood, and ensure sufficient sleep, all of which are very important.
