Patient's question:
Hello doctor, is there a way to treat facial paralysis sequelae? Currently, my face still looks a bit crooked, especially around the mouth, it's quite crooked. My friend said to try acupuncture, is it effective? How many treatment sessions are needed? This isn't about distrust of acupuncture, but rather the fear of being pricked incorrectly, which might make it worse.Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you. Your condition is post-stroke facial paralysis. First, don't be too nervous. You can take vitamin B1 orally for treatment. While taking the medication, you can also complement it with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture. The treatment should last at least one month. At the same time, you should always maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. Rest on schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and cooperate with your doctor for rehabilitation training. Wishing you good health.
