Patient's question:
Health consultation description: On the first day, I lost. On the third day, I went to the provincial neurology department to see a Western doctor. In the afternoon of the third day, I got electrotherapy at the hospital. For a week, I had acupuncture at the traditional Chinese medicine hospital. I stopped for two days and then had another ten. I haven't recovered completely yet and can't blow my mouth. Should I still get electrotherapy?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, it appears to be a recurrence of facial nerve palsy, also known as facial paralysis. This condition is often associated with viral infections, exposure to cold, and other factors.Recommendations:
During the recurrence of this condition, it is temporarily recommended to focus on acupuncture treatment while also complementing it with heat therapy to promote the recovery of the facial nerve. Generally, the recovery period for this disease is around 4-8 weeks.
Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
