Patient's question:
I have had facial paralysis for two years. They said chewing gum is a bit helpful. Hello, is facial paralysis helpful by chewing gum?Doctor's answer:
The main purpose of jaw-stiffness patients chewing gum is to exercise facial muscle function and enhance blood circulation in facial muscles, which is beneficial for the repair of facial paralysis and chewing function. It is not a primary treatment measure. The primary treatment measures include neurotrophic drugs, blood-activating and meridian-opening drugs, as well as acupuncture therapy. However, since your condition has persisted for several years, chewing gum has little auxiliary effect on facial paralysis, but it can help exercise chewing function.
