Patient's question:
Aunt recently felt uncomfortable with her face, her mouth corner is a bit down, drinking water will flow from the face, it is difficult to move. She went to the hospital for examination, the doctor said it was facial paralysis. Aunt doesn't know how to treat it. Could you please tell me about the symptoms and treatment methods of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
When facial paralysis is inflamed, the contralateral expressive muscles may droop at the corners of the mouth and deviate to the healthy side, accompanied by tearing or nasal lip groove changes, reduced palpebral fissure, disappearance of forehead wrinkles, or the inability to frown, close eyes, show teeth, pout, or whistle. For the rescue of facial paralysis, early treatment is recommended to avoid delaying the condition and causing other sequelae. Traditional Chinese Medicine can be chosen to promote the comprehensive and thorough recovery of facial muscle function. Alternatively, direct stimulation of facial muscles can be applied to maintain rhythmic activity, preserve the normal function of facial muscle connective tissues, inhibit muscle fiber enhancement, prevent muscle atrophy and stiffness, and effectively restore facial muscle function.
