Patient's question:
Mom was admitted to the hospital two days ago due to facial paralysis. I thought it was hemiplegia, but the doctor told you it's facial peripheral neuritis, which is facial paralysis, caused by the cold weather in recent days. However, the treatment effect is relatively slow, and it may take about a year to recover. Mom is quite impatient, so she asked me to inquire if there are any better treatments for facial peripheral neuritis?Doctor's answer:
If it is an acute stage of facial paralysis, it is necessary to take medicine and stay in the hospital for a period of time. At the same time, acupuncture and rehabilitation treatment can be gradually coordinated. Additionally, for facial paralysis, it is important to pay attention to wind protection, wear masks, avoid rain, and prevent colds. Also, you can ask her to chew gum more when she has nothing to do and use hot towels to rub her face more often. Generally, with standardized treatment, facial paralysis can heal on its own.
