Patient's question:
Doctor, for a 69-year-old patient with facial paralysis, do you think it's treatable at this age? And it has been a year since the onset of the condition, yet they are still unaware that it is incurable. Doctor, is it treatable?Doctor's answer:
First of all, facial paralysis is not age-related, but rather depends on whether it is acute or chronic. If you have just developed facial paralysis, it is essential to actively seek treatment and use some nerve-nourishing medications. After about a week, you can consider further enhancing the effect through methods such as acupuncture. This can be done even for elderly individuals. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
