Patient's question:
I have a close friend who had a very special sexual life in the past two years and was always worried about getting AIDS. Unfortunately, a few days ago, she said she felt uncomfortable in her face and didn't pay much attention, but ended up getting facial paralysis. So, is facial paralysis a symptom of AIDS?Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to know that Bell's palsy and AIDS are two different conditions. Bell's palsy is actually called facial nerve palsy. It is mainly caused by wind-cold or viral infections. There is no effective treatment method, so it is recommended that patients go to the hospital and receive treatment through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Bell's palsy can be treated through physical methods such as acupuncture, but it requires a long time to heal and fully recover. AIDS, according to current medical standards, cannot be completely cured.
