Patient's question:
I am 44 years old. My face has again appeared facial paralysis. The left corner of my mouth is drooping, and my mouth leaks air. After going to the hospital to see a doctor, they gave me a few ointments. I have been using them every day, but this morning I noticed that my face has swollen down. How to stabilize face swelling with facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Considering your situation, I suggest you consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner to see if acupuncture and oral Chinese herbal medicine would be more effective. At the same time, pay attention to external prevention and carefully observe for a few days. Don't worry too much about this situation reappearing. Facial edema needs to be ruled out, and if there is no parotid gland, there may be an allergic reaction! For facial nerve paralysis, the first step is to identify whether it is central facial nerve paralysis or facial neuritis, and then confirm the diagnosis and clarify the symptoms for treatment.
