Patient's question:
The numbness on both sides of the face occasionally reappears and is now more severe than before. After visiting the hospital, the doctor said the condition on one side is not good. What medication should be prescribed for methylcobalamin? After a period of time, I still couldn't take it. I would like to know what kind of detailed tests I need to confirm the disease? What is the cause of the numbness on both sides?Doctor's answer:
According to the patient, it should be the facial nerve, which is caused by excessive fatigue, trauma, or congenital deficiency, leading to insufficient qi and blood. Insufficient qi and blood result in malnutrition, loss of moisturizing function, and loss of facial nerve nutrition. Due to facial muscle numbness, eye numbness, and deviation, it is recommended to use acupuncture to dispel wind and expel cold. It is suggested to have the hospital perform a brain magnetic resonance imaging to confirm the diagnosis and prevent wind and cold. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
