Patient's question:
My colleague's cousin has recently experienced symptoms of facial paralysis again. His entire face lacks expression, except for blinking. Making any other movements is extremely difficult, and he cannot even smile. We helped search for information online but couldn't find any suitable treatment plans. Therefore, we would like to consult a doctor about how facial paralysis should be treated.Doctor's answer:
At such a young age, the recurrence of facial paralysis could be due to either a brain stroke or facial nerve inflammation. It is recommended to seek early medical attention at a formal hospital's neurology department for follow-up and treatment. Active oral medication should be taken, and acupuncture can be combined to help stabilize the symptoms of facial paralysis. However, full recovery is uncertain. Therefore, do not panic or worry—just take it slow and focus on early treatment.
