Patient's question:
Grandpa suffered a stroke, which caused facial paralysis. However, whenever he eats, he sheds tears. How can someone with facial paralysis eat without crying?Doctor's answer:
If it is due to a brain stroke that causes the elderly to experience a recurrence of facial muscle collapse, this situation may result in some long-term damage to facial function. On the one hand, it is important to promptly treat the brain stroke issue. On the other hand, acupuncture and physiotherapy can be used to stabilize the condition of facial paralysis. If the facial paralysis is severe, it may lead to symptoms such as tearing and difficulty in chewing.
