Patient's question:
Sometimes I feel like the muscles in my face twitch, and I can't move for a moment. Is this an early symptom of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
The early symptoms of Bell's palsy often show no symptoms, but occasionally some may experience sudden facial numbness or a dull ache at the point where the facial nerve enters the mastoid process behind the ear. If you experience any of the above symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor specializing in acupuncture for treatment. Complementary therapies such as moxibustion, infrared light irradiation, and other treatments can help prevent the recurrence of facial paralysis. Additionally, in the coming days, pay attention to protecting your face from the cold and avoid direct exposure to cold winds. When going out, it is advisable to wear a mask.
