Patient's question:
I used to have facial paralysis, and it was caused by a stroke. Now, the facial paralysis is getting worse and worse. The doctor I found before wasn't very reliable. He kept treating me, but the facial paralysis became more severe. What should I do with late-stage facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Late facial paralysis is usually caused by a stroke. It's best to go to a regular hospital for a thorough examination and then receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor. You can also undergo acupuncture or physical therapy under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine. Avoid exposure to wind, get plenty of rest, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of hot water, relax your mood, exercise moderately, and boost your immunity.
