Patient's question:
Dad has had a recurrence of Bell's palsy due to cold wind since Saturday this month. He has been receiving acupuncture for a month now, but his mouth is still crooked, and his eyes cannot close completely. The doctor said the treatment is gradual, but I am very anxious. This is too painful. Hello doctor, how can facial paralysis and facial nerve neuritis recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
After experiencing a cold again on the face, it may lead to the recurrence of facial paralysis. This condition is usually caused by facial neuritis and requires timely treatment based on the situation to nourish the nerves. Acupuncture treatment can effectively promote recovery. Additionally, it is necessary to combine the use of Western medicine to nourish the nerves and reduce nerve root edema. This involves using nerve-nourishing medications and corticosteroid medications for treatment.
