Patient's question:
When answering, I tilt my mouth to the right side. It has been like this for over two months. I previously went to the hospital for medication, but it didn't work. Later, I found an herbal remedy and used a small knife to cut the inside of my mouth twice. It was effective at first, but now it's happening again. Is there any effective treatment for this?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is also known as facial paralysis. It is a common disease characterized by dysfunction of the facial expression muscle group, with the main symptom being drooping of the mouth and crooked eyes.Recommendation: Patients can undergo traditional Chinese medicine treatment, acupuncture, electroacupuncture, moxibustion, combined with herbal decoctions, which should yield certain effects. There are many treatment methods for Bell's palsy, but since patients have different symptoms, the chosen treatment approaches will vary. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
