Patient's question:
The daughter has been a facial paralysis since she was born. The facial nerves are always very tense, always giving people a very strange impression. Recently, she has asked me a few times to have acupuncture treatment. I have been hesitating. I want to consult a doctor about what acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis is like? Is it recommended?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned, the daughter has been suffering from facial nerve paralysis since birth. This condition can be treated with acupuncture, and acupuncture has a very good effect on facial nerve paralysis. It is also possible to consider electroacupuncture, which has a slightly better effect. At the same time, under the guidance of a doctor, neurotrophic drugs can be given, such as intramuscular injections of vitamin B1 and vitamin B12, or oral medication like methylcobalamin. Please wait and see.
