Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. My father-in-law suffered from facial paralysis in the past and now has left behind sequelae. What are the self-treatment methods for facial paralysis sequelae?Doctor's answer:
If suffering from post-stroke facial paralysis, it is generally necessary to implement post-stroke rehabilitation treatment based on the condition. In most cases, acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy can be used. Regular massage or cold compresses can also provide some help for complete recovery. Oral medications should also be administered, with neurotrophic drugs generally being beneficial. It must be noted that exposure to cold or catching a cold should be avoided.
