Patient's question:
Yesterday, my husband suddenly had his mouth and eyes drooping without any warning, and he couldn't close his eyes either. The hospital diagnosed him with facial paralysis. Now the doctor has recommended that we get nutritional injections, and acupuncture has already started. So, I want to ask the doctor a question: can facial paralysis be treated with acupuncture?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, facial paralysis can be treated with acupuncture. However, during the acute recurrence phase of facial paralysis, it is recommended to take many neurotrophic drugs and antiviral drugs orally. Many times, facial paralysis is caused by facial nerve palsy or viral infection. It is also important to prevent colds. When going out, it is better to wear a hat, a mask, and sunglasses to avoid direct sunlight exposure.
