Patient's question:
When crying or laughing, the mouth and eyes become crooked. I went to the hospital and the doctor said it was nothing. Later, I consulted a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and they prescribed some herbal medicine. How should pediatric facial paralysis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Your child's condition may be peripheral facial nerve palsy. It is recommended to seek timely treatment. You can adopt a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine approaches, such as acupuncture and medium-frequency therapy, while also taking neurotrophic drugs like methylcobalamin and vitamin B12 prescribed by Western medicine. Buy some yellow eels and apply fresh blood from the eels to the affected side of the face while taking a nap at night, and wash it off the third day. When going out, remember to wear a mask. Buy a bottle of eye drops to protect your conjunctiva. Avoid washing your face with cold water, avoid blowing cold air, and avoid eating foods that may exacerbate the condition. Facial paralysis in children has a significant impact on their health. If parents notice any symptoms in their child, they should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis immediately, while also paying close attention to their diet.
