Patient's question:
My child was born with facial paralysis. How can this be treated? I want to consult with online experts. What are the treatment methods for facial paralysis in children? Do online doctors have any home remedies? Is it better to treat it when the child is young compared to when they are older? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of facial paralysis in newborns is caused by developmental abnormalities during fetal periods, making it a congenital condition. The treatment effect is not very good, but as the child gradually matures, some patients with congenital facial paralysis may gradually regain some facial expressions. If the facial paralysis is caused by acquired factors, it can be corrected using acupuncture combined with physical therapy, requiring a comprehensive evaluation and treatment.
