Patient's question:
After treating facial paralysis for a period of time, sequelae remained. How should facial paralysis sequelae be treated?Doctor's answer:
Patients with post-stroke sequelae after Bell's palsy treatment can choose traditional Chinese medicine therapy. It is advisable to avoid electroacupuncture as much as possible, as the treatment methods using heavy and frequent stimulation with electro-massage can be harmful. While undergoing acupuncture treatment, combining it with herbal steam inhalation and neurotrophic drugs can facilitate the complete recovery of the nerves. During the treatment of Bell's palsy, patients should maintain confidence and patience, eliminate anxiety and pessimistic emotions, and adopt a positive and optimistic attitude towards the disease.
