Does Bell's palsy require acupuncture?

Patient's question:

A while ago, I got facial nerve palsy. My mouth was and my eyes were, and I couldn't even speak clearly. After a period of treatment, it still didn't improve. The doctor suggested I get acupuncture for facial nerve palsy. Do I have to get acupuncture every day?

Doctor's answer:

Because if you want to use acupuncture to treat facial nerve palsy, the effect is generally a bit slower. Most patients need 1 to 2 months of acupuncture treatment to see improvement. However, if you want to heal it completely, it may take 3 to 4 months. It is recommended to use facial cold compresses in daily life to promote blood circulation. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
