Patient's question:
My daughter is 5 years old. I didn't notice anything unusual before, but others told me that my child's expression wasn't right, and that's when we realized it. After a careful check, it was found to be facial paralysis. How should I deal with facial paralysis in children? I heard that traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture can help. Is it effective?Doctor's answer:
Children experiencing facial paralysis can be considered for acupuncture therapy. Compared to other treatments, acupuncture for facial paralysis is relatively highly effective. At the same time, it can also be combined with the use of traditional Chinese medicine to stabilize the treatment, primarily using blood-activating herbs. Additionally, Western medicine that nourishes nerves can be used in conjunction to achieve better overall treatment effects. It is important to pay attention to personal lifestyle habits and maintain a healthy diet.
