Patient's question:
My relative is 47 years old this year. Recently, for some unknown reason, they suddenly experienced a recurrence of facial paralysis accompanied by severe pain. Why is it that severe pain cannot be surgically treated after facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Western medicine treatment is also the main treatment method currently, mainly targeting early anti-disease and stabilizing facial nerve stability, blood circulation, etc. However, we also need to be aware that this treatment method may have side effects for some people. If side effects reappear, we should stop and decide on other methods. It is best to combine with traditional Chinese medicine treatment. If postoperative severe facial muscle spasm sequelae are very serious and cannot be self-corrected, we must decide on surgical rescue. However, surgery does not necessarily have to move the face quickly; sometimes only minor surgery is needed to quickly move the nerve and enhance facial muscle circulation. One method is that the patient does not need rescue and waits. In slow conditions, complete recovery is slow, but some patients are not suitable for this treatment.
