Patient's question:
My friend recently suddenly reappeared with facial paralysis. They went to the hospital for a check-up and found out they had facial paralysis. The friend wants to know if acupuncture is still needed after intravenous infusion for facial paralysis.Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy, also known as peripheral facial nerve palsy, is primarily caused by a viral infection. Treatment mainly involves antiviral therapy, including the use of vitamins B1 and B12, etc. Coordination with local massage and functional exercises is also employed. Some may use acupuncture as well. Therefore, it is necessary to start with intravenous fluids to stabilize the condition and treat cerebral thrombosis. Acupuncture can be temporarily delayed until her condition improves slightly before proceeding with treatment, as it is crucial not to delay the condition. The above is advice on this issue, and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.
