Patient's question:
My second aunt has been treating her facial paralysis for a long time, but it's still the same old way. I'd like to understand a few other treatment methods. How is facial paralysis best treated?Doctor's answer:
The harm to facial nerve function can lead to facial paralysis, especially postoperative sequelae of traumatic brain injury, which is the most likely to recur facial paralysis. In addition, many bacterial or viral infections can cause it, so it is necessary to adjust immunity through antiviral means. When necessary, corticosteroids can be used in combination. The most important treatment is acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine to stabilize blood circulation and activate blood flow. Medications that promote blood circulation are conventional clinical treatment methods.
