Patient's question:
My grandfather got facial paralysis due to catching a cold. Could you please help me understand this, doctor? What foods are good for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if facial paralysis is caused by exposure to cold or wind, it can be treated effectively through acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine. At the same time, it is important to avoid cold and cooling foods in your diet, and you can appropriately consume some warm foods, such as mutton and ginger. There are no specific dietary recommendations in this regard. However, when using traditional Chinese herbal medicine, dietary adjustments should be made under the guidance of a doctor.
