Patient's question:
What are the treatments for facial paralysis? Acupuncture and physical therapy can treat it well? Or do you need to go to the hospital to take medicine?Doctor's answer:
If the patient has recently developed symptoms again, such as facial drooping,, and stiff facial expressions, it is highly likely to indicate facial paralysis, also known as Bell's palsy. This may be related to factors such as the patient's advanced age, a stressful lifestyle, or a cold and flu. It is important to first visit the hospital's peripheral nerve department for a thorough examination and diagnosis. If facial paralysis is present, it is generally recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine for conditioning, combined with many nerve-nourishing medications.
