Patient's question:
Blowing towards the direction of the air conditioner all night, I woke up in the morning to find that the corners of my mouth were severely drooping, even unable to close my mouth. This must be facial paralysis. I could only eat with one side of my mouth at dinner, and it was also very difficult. How should facial paralysis be treated? Can it be cured?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you may have developed facial paralysis due to exposure to cold wind. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Facial paralysis patients generally recover completely within 15 days after treatment. If you still cannot recover completely after about two months, it may lead to long-term complications. The treatment is primarily based on acupuncture, which is very effective in the acute phase of the disease. If it is in the later stage of the disease, it becomes very difficult to achieve a complete recovery.
