Patient's question:
My aunt has recently been experiencing symptoms of localized facial pain. When she went to the hospital, they said it was facial paralysis. Now they say we discovered it early, and it's in its initial stage, but we haven't started treatment yet.Doctor's answer:
It is Bell's palsy, which requires local massage, heat application, closed-loop therapy, acupuncture, and other treatments. Oral Chinese medicine for invigorating blood and removing stasis is also used.Avoid spicy food, alcohol, cold foods, and other stimulating foods. If the effect is not good, minimally invasive surgery (nerve transection) should be performed at the hospital.
