Patient's question:
I experienced a recurrence of lower lip numbness due to air conditioning. The doctor said it's facial nerve palsy. Facial nerve palsy seems to improve with medication and acupuncture. Is it said that this facial nerve palsy has a particularly high recurrence rate? How can the recurrence be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Hello, after the recovery from facial nerve palsy, there is a chance of recurrence. Treating facial nerve palsy can be done orally with many anti-inflammatory medications. Acupuncture and massage can help alleviate and cure the condition. If you have recovered from facial nerve palsy, it is necessary to pay attention to preventing colds and protecting the facial nerve, as it is prone to recurrence due to colds, wind, and viral infections. Maintaining a consistent diet and lifestyle can effectively prevent the condition from recurring.
