Patient's question:
I got a bit of a cold before, and while taking a nap, I felt a bit uncomfortable with my face. The next morning, I noticed that my face couldn't move, and my mouth had already started to droop. I couldn't make any expressions either. So, I went to the hospital, and the doctor said that this should be treated well with traditional Chinese medicine. I'd like to ask how to treat facial paralysis patients?Doctor's answer:
It is because of facial cold exposure and wind, which caused facial nerve damage and led to facial paralysis again. If treatment is needed, the first priority is to pay attention to facial warmth protection. You can seek acupuncture or small needle knife treatment at the hospital's traditional Chinese medicine department. Daily, it is essential to take neurotrophic drugs or oral traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis to support the treatment. Please note that since the severity of facial paralysis varies, treatment requires maintaining patience throughout.
