Patient's question:
Best friend Zhou Ping went wild five years ago and got AIDS, then developed facial paralysis after that and has never been treated. I want to ask if facial paralysis can still be cured? Does facial paralysis have anything to do with AIDS?Doctor's answer:
The two diseases your best friend currently has are unrelated. If acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine had been implemented in the early stages of the symptoms, it might have been possible to completely recover. However, since it has been quite some time and the condition has worsened, it is relatively difficult to fully improve. The best approach is to use special materials to separate the facial nerve from the posterior auricular vessels. But even with this, many facial features may still be difficult to fully recover.
