Patient's question:
I can't make any expressions on my face right now. This is because there's a problem with the facial nerves, and I have facial paralysis. It's my first time getting this condition, and I'm quite young. I really can't do my training because it's very inconvenient. How should I treat facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
If you suffer from facial paralysis, it is best to take oral neurotrophic drugs while undergoing acupuncture treatment. By stimulating acupoints such as Dicang, Yangbai, Jiache, Yuyao, Sibai, and Hegu, you can activate blood and qi circulation in the face. This can effectively dispel wind and cold stagnation in the face, restoring the normal function of facial muscles. During treatment, it is recommended to wash your face with hot water and apply cold compress therapy. Additionally, remember to wear a mask when going out to avoid direct exposure to cold wind, which can help alleviate symptoms of facial paralysis.
