Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to consult. I have had facial paralysis for a month, and acupuncture hasn't shown any improvement. I'm still experiencing drooping mouth and eyes, so I'd like to consult with you, doctor, about what treatment approach should be adopted for my condition to heal faster. This is a post-stroke complication.Doctor's answer:
Your condition is a post-stroke sequelae. Cases like facial paralysis take longer to treat, so it's still necessary to actively treat the primary symptoms caused by the stroke. Facial paralysis is generally effectively treated with acupuncture. Since you've been dealing with this for a long time, you're understandably very anxious. However, it's important to understand the nature of the condition. You should continue with acupuncture treatment and also complement it with rehabilitation exercises for better results.
