Patient's question:
Due to her age, Grandma pays special attention to her daily life and diet. The other day, her face suddenly appeared with facial paralysis again. I would like to ask how should elderly people be treated when they experience facial paralysis again?Doctor's answer:
Older people experiencing a recurrence of facial paralysis also need to understand the importance of proper examination and treatment. Since the symptoms of facial paralysis are not affected by age, anyone who experiences a recurrence should seek proper examination and treatment. Facial paralysis is divided into acute, remission, and recovery phases. Generally, during the acute phase of facial paralysis, medication can be used for rescue treatment. To prevent the recurrence of sequelae during the recovery period, acupuncture and medication should be used together for treatment.
