Patient's question:
Previously, I had facial paralysis, which was treated with acupuncture. My family members are worried about a recurrence. How can I prevent the facial paralysis from recurring again?Doctor's answer:
Detailed discussion about patients is often caused by external wind, cold, and dampness. Methods to prevent the recurrence of facial paralysis: 1. When going out, pay attention to preventing cycling by wearing a mask or hat to protect your face; 2. When taking a bus or car, do not open the window quickly to prevent a direct wind from blowing on your face; 3. When tired or after washing your hair, pay attention not to catch a cold; 4. When exercising in the morning, do not exercise too early in the cold wind until the sun comes out; 5. Pay attention to a regular lifestyle and ensure sufficient and deep sleep. Once the symptoms of facial paralysis reappear, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination. If the facial nerve is damaged, it needs to be treated as soon as possible. Do not blindly use medication to treat it to avoid missing the best treatment time.
