Patient's question:
My aunt has experienced a recurrence of facial paralysis since the last time she accidentally had a car accident. Her face is now very stiff, and she can't do much. She has had facial paralysis for over a year, so she wants to consult about what methods are best for treating facial paralysis.Doctor's answer:
First, it is still necessary to adjust the patient's mindset to avoid excessive pressure. The patient's facial paralysis has been present for a year, and the current medication may not be very effective. Generally, it is possible to focus on acupuncture and massage therapy. However, since you are now experiencing facial muscle spasms again, it is not suitable to use facial paralysis treatment. In modern medicine, the main methods for treating facial paralysis include hormones, B vitamins, and physical therapy. However, modern clinical diagnosis generally considers that the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, especially acupuncture, is a must for treating this condition.
