Patient's question:
In the morning, I noticed that my mother-in-law's face was, her speech was a bit unclear, and her eyes were uneven. My father-in-law said that my mother-in-law had facial paralysis, and that it was caused by her blowing cold air at the square dance in the evening. Today, I took my mother-in-law for acupuncture, and her condition has improved slightly, but her mouth still looks a bit. What should I do about facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Reappearance of facial paralysis can often lead to mouth and eye deviation in most cases. In such situations, it is necessary to conduct timely and thorough examinations to confirm whether it is caused by cerebrovascular disease. Only after ruling out cerebrovascular disease should facial nerve paralysis be considered. In such cases, oral medication and local cold compresses can be applied, or acupuncture treatment can be performed. In the early stages, oral corticosteroids and neurotrophic drugs can be taken to prolong the course of the disease.
