Patient's question:
Facial paralysis has improved significantly after nearly two and a half months of acupuncture and Western medicine treatment. It's either mouth or the moment the mouth or ears move, it will make a sound. Acupuncture was done seven or eight times, but now it's not acupuncture, just taking one type of medicine. Macrolide, taken two days ago, will alleviate the condition?Doctor's answer:
Facial nerve palsy, also known as facial neuritis, is caused by a viral infection of the facial nerve triggered by cold or wind. The main treatment measures involve combining neurotrophic therapy with local physical therapy. The medications used include stabilizing blood circulation drugs such as methylcobalamin, vitamin B12, and Xueshutong. During the treatment process for facial paralysis, if you have a cold, alleviate the symptoms. If you cough, you can stop. If you have phlegm, address the phlegm. If you have a fever or cough with phlegm, add antibiotics. It is usually necessary to pay attention to prevention, especially avoiding wind interference on the face.
