Patient's question:
Today after class, when I arrived at the dorm, I found that I suddenly had facial paralysis. What are the treatments for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, Bell's palsy is caused by the recurrence of inflammation and edema of the facial nerve. Treatment methods include traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western medicine with Western drugs. TCM treatment mainly uses many herbal formulas and acupuncture, moxibustion, etc. Western medicine may use many hormones to reduce inflammation and edema, and use many nerve-nourishing drugs to promote the repair of the facial nerve. If the symptoms of Bell's palsy are mild, there may be a possibility of self-healing.
