Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended going to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please ask about the Chinese herbal medicine treatment for facial nerve palsy?Doctor's answer:
The face is burning and painful, and it is more likely to be trigeminal neuralgia rather than facial nerve inflammation. It is recommended to take many Chinese herbal medicines that have a calming and blood-activating effect, combined with acupuncture for treatment. Acupuncture has the effect of promoting blood circulation, so do not frequently rub your face with your hands, as rubbing may worsen the pain. Avoid spicy and greasy foods, and do not have too much stress. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
