How is congenital facial paralysis treated?

Patient's question:

I have congenital facial paralysis for 21 years. My left mouth corner cannot move, I cannot raise my eyebrows, the facial muscles on my left face are twisted, and it leaks when I blow air. Other than that, my eyes are fine, it's just my mouth is crooked. I want to ask, for rehabilitation treatment, what kind of treatment is needed?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you have described, you mentioned that the congenital facial paralysis has recurred for 21 years, and currently the main symptom is that the corner of the mouth cannot move. This recurrence is mainly considered to be caused by facial nerve damage. Based on your current description, the treatment effect is not very ideal. It is recommended to nourish the nerves and use acupuncture as auxiliary treatment. Do not overwork during the day. Wish you good health. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
