Patient's question:
My husband's immunity had a setback recently, and after a thorough examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with facial nerve palsy. After a period of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the results were minimal. Now, we want to try Western medicine, so I would like to consult a doctor about what the best method for treating facial nerve palsy is in Western medicine.Doctor's answer:
In Western medicine, the primary method for treating facial nerve palsy involves flexibly using some neurotrophic drugs for conditioning and treatment. Commonly used drugs mainly include cobalamin or vitamin B1 or B12 to implement joint treatment. At the same time, it is mainly necessary to perform local cold compresses and coordinate the use of some traditional Chinese medicine therapies for joint treatment, such as acupuncture or the use of blood-activating ointments for topical application.
