What should I do if the Bell's palsy gets worse with treatment?

Patient's question:

I have had mild facial paralysis since I was a child until now. I started going to the hospital for treatment from the age of 26. At first, it was just a little bit, but now it feels like my entire face cannot move. So, I want to ask, what should I do if facial paralysis gets worse with treatment?

Doctor's answer:

After treatment, the facial paralysis condition gradually improved, but it also led to post-treatment sequelae. In this case, do not blindly move the treatment and pay special attention to not frequently applying acupuncture and massage. Currently, cold compress and massage methods can be used, along with oral administration of neurotrophic drugs. If there are sequelae, it is difficult to completely cure them, and only physical therapy can be used to improve the current symptoms. Treatment must be reduced, and it cannot be completely cured.
