Patient's question:
Lab tests, careful examination results: Previous treatment history and effectiveness for facial nerve palsy: Not very good, what kind of help is needed: Can wine be used to treat facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello! Acupuncture treatment using Traditional Chinese Medicine has a good effect on facial nerve palsy. The main acupoints are: Dicang, Shuigou, Quanliao, Sibai, Taiyang, Sizhukong, Yifeng, and Jingming. The auxiliary acupoints are Hegu and Neiting. A medicinal wine with blood-activating properties can be used as a supplementary treatment. It is recommended to rest appropriately and pay attention to continuous warmth protection for the face. When going outside, you can wear a mask. Avoid sleeping near the window during deep sleep to prevent catching a cold again. Pay attention not to wash your face with cold water, as it may lead to direct exposure to cold wind. Also, be mindful of weather changes and dress appropriately to prevent catching a cold.
