My son's eyes keep blinking from time to time. When it's severe, his mouth also twists. What's going on?

Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

It may be caused by trigeminal neuralgia. Local treatments such as massage, heat application,, and acupuncture are needed. Oral Chinese medicine for promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis should also be taken. Avoid spicy, alcoholic, and cold foods. If the effect is not good, minimally invasive surgery (nerve sectioning) should be performed at the hospital.
