What should I do if I have Bell's palsy on the windward side? Will there be sequelae? Can it be treated?

Patient's question:

: This is the second time he had a recurrence, and the first time it was cured. What kind of help do you care for: The Chinese medicine doctor performed acupuncture on his face.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment principle for Bell's palsy is to stabilize local blood circulation, reduce facial nerve edema, relieve nerve compression, and promote functional recovery. This includes:
1. Advocating the early use of a course of corticosteroid hormones during the acute phase. Dexamethasone can be administered intravenously, or prednisone can be taken orally, for 5-7 consecutive days, followed by a gradual increase in dosage over the next 7-10 days. Additionally, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake in daily life, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and keep a positive mood to enhance physical fitness and accelerate the recovery process.
