Patient's question:
I contracted facial paralysis in a spring 19 years ago. The cause of the illness was that I fell asleep with my wet hair facing the window at night, which led to a stroke. After the onset of the condition, I promptly sought treatment from a renowned local traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioner for acupuncture, herbal poultices, and oral Chinese patent medicine Ren Shen Zai Zao Wan, which showed significant effects. However, due to my classes, I abandoned the treatment after persisting with acupuncture for over 40 days, feeling that I had fully recovered. But a few years later, I noticed that my facial features were slightly asymmetrical upon close examination, so I resumed acupuncture treatment. In total, I visited the practitioner three times, but there was no noticeable improvement. I hope to find a good doctor here to completely cure my condition.Doctor's answer:
It can be cured. But it requires some time. The best method is acupuncture and physiotherapy.
