Patient's question:
Recently, due to work pressure, I got a stomachache and developed facial paralysis with eyes and frequent flatulence. I couldn't eat or see clearly, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. They prescribed some medication, but it didn't work well for me. I'm very worried.Doctor's answer:
Your facial paralysis can be treated because facial paralysis is essentially facial nerve inflammation or trigeminal nerve inflammation, mainly caused by wind, cold, and dampness. For example, prolonged exposure to cold or wind, or sudden exposure to intense cold, can lead to it. Facial paralysis is caused by a viral infection of the facial nerve, resulting in edema and control by the facial nerve sheath. Traditional Chinese Medicine uses acupuncture, while Western Medicine uses hormones for treatment. Combining both methods can lead to a quicker recovery. Generally, it takes about a month.
