Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, it is important to seek timely treatment when a facial paralysis attack occurs. Treatments such as acupuncture, bloodletting therapy, and medication are effective, with the best results typically seen within two weeks of onset. However, since your condition has been ongoing for too long, treating facial paralysis is now futile and unnecessary. Your primary focus should be on treating your middle ear infection. If you are currently not experiencing symptoms, and given your circumstances abroad, treatment may not be required. If possible, an ear examination should be conducted, and surgical intervention may be necessary if needed.
