Patient's question:
My father-in-law suddenly became motionless two days ago, and his facial expression became stiff. Is this what a facial paralysis looks like?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it seems that according to the symptoms you mentioned, there may be a possibility of facial paralysis. This condition is often caused by wind directly affecting the meridians. During the illness, it is important to prevent the face from being exposed to cold wind and to wear a mask when going out. Additionally, it is advisable not to eat excessively greasy or spicy foods, and to avoid alcohol. Furthermore, rehabilitation treatments such as acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and moxibustion can be used. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
