Patient's question:
Since childhood, I have experienced facial stiffness, and later it was diagnosed as Bell's palsy. I feel very distressed. How can Bell's palsy be recovered from?Doctor's answer:
Hello! It's a pleasure to help you. Facial nerve palsy, also known as "facial paralysis" or "mouth-eye," can cause eyelids to not close, tearing, loss of facial expression and movement, unclear speech when answering, leakage of food and liquid when eating, disappearance of forehead wrinkles. In terms of treatment, a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine can be chosen, with massage and acupuncture being effective options. During the illness, it's important to avoid cold exposure and maintain a cheerful mood, which is beneficial for recovery.
