Patient's question:
My family member has had facial paralysis for over 40 days, with acupuncture showing no significant improvement. They have undergone acupuncture treatment for about a month without seeing significant results.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Acupuncture is currently recognized as the fastest and most effective method for treating facial paralysis. Facial paralysis does not discriminate by age, and the earlier the treatment, the better. It is best to seek medical attention within one week of onset. During treatment, avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy foods like chili peppers, and exposure to cold wind. In winter, it is advisable to wear a scarf when going outdoors. The general treatment period is 10-20 days, although some cases may be cured within a week.
