Patient's question:
I have been experiencing facial paralysis for three months, and it has not fully recovered yet. Additionally, facial muscle twitching has reappeared. So, I want to ask how to deal with facial muscle twitching after facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, when the body experiences a recurrence of facial twitching symptoms after facial paralysis, the clinical diagnosis can consider integrating traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture under the guidance of a doctor. This is beneficial for the complete recovery of facial nerve paralysis, as well as using wind-dispelling, cold-dispelling, blood-activating, and collaterals-unblocking drugs to implement standardized treatment. Additionally, it is essential to enhance nutrition and lower the body's immune response during daily life to prevent recurrence, as autoimmune reactions can sometimes exacerbate the condition. It is recommended to prioritize medication or acupuncture in the early stages, and minimally invasive treatments may be used if necessary to prevent symptom relief. Systematic treatment in a regular hospital is advisable. Pay attention to daily life to avoid mental stress and ensure adequate rest time and quality.
