Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. Can acupuncture be used for facial nerve palsy in children during the acute phase?Doctor's answer:
Hello, during the acute phase of facial nerve palsy, acupuncture is not recommended. It is best to start with medication treatment first. Acupuncture can only be performed after the condition has fully recovered, which is beneficial for complete recovery. It is best to pay attention to the child's rest and avoid cold exposure. It is also recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, and encourage the child to exercise more. At the same time, it is advisable to enhance dietary nutrition. If acupuncture is performed, it is best to have it done at a formal traditional Chinese medicine hospital.
