Patient's question:
Can the patient with facial paralysis smoke? It has been a year since the patient was diagnosed with facial paralysis. What should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, please seek treatment from a TCM acupuncture doctor nearby. Currently, acupuncture is recognized as the fastest and most effective treatment method. Bell's palsy does not affect any age group, and the earlier the treatment, the better. It is best to visit a doctor within one week of onset. During treatment, avoid smoking, alcohol, spicy foods like chili peppers, and exposure to wind and cold. In winter, it is advisable to wear a scarf when going out. The general treatment period is 10-20 days, although some people may be cured within a week.
