Patient's question:
My relative's older brother is 41 years old. A few days ago, he didn't notice anything, but yesterday he discovered he had facial nerve palsy. Will it be okay without acupuncture?Doctor's answer:
Facial nerve palsy is caused by various different reasons. You need to have it checked to determine whether it is caused by simple neuritis or cerebrovascular disease. It is important to identify the cause of the facial paralysis as soon as possible so that targeted treatment can be administered. Acupuncture and neurotrophic drugs can be used for treatment. Local electrotherapy is not necessary. Oral vitamin B12 or meclocycline tablets can be taken. The appropriate use of hormones is beneficial. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
