Patient's question:
During the treatment of a mild cerebral thrombosis, I developed facial paralysis on half of my face, specifically on the right side. What should I do about the right-sided facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, this right facial paralysis is primarily considered to be a consequence of a cerebral thrombosis. Currently, there may be some damage to the contralateral central nervous system. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is often attributed to blocked meridians and impaired blood and Qi flow. Some may experience symptoms such as crooked mouth again. For treatment, oral Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and unblocks meridians can be taken, but specific medication should be followed according to the doctor's advice. Acupuncture and physiotherapy can also be used in combination to help stabilize the condition. It is important to maintain a regular lifestyle.
