Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to know what methods are available for treating facial paralysis? I haven't noticed it myself, but both my family and colleagues/friends say I have a constantly expressionless face and don't talk much. No wonder I don't have a girlfriend. Is there any way I can change my current situation?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for facial paralysis depends on whether it is in the acute phase or the recovery phase. If it is in the acute phase, antiviral treatment should be administered to reduce transmission. During the recovery phase, local vitamin supplements can be taken to promote nerve repair. Facial paralysis is essentially facial nerve palsy, and taking neurotrophic drugs can lead to faster recovery. Combining these with traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as acupuncture and moxibustion can help regulate the condition. If others say you have a "facial paralysis face," it actually means you have no expression on your face. In this case, it is important to pay attention to enriching your facial expressions.
