Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Woke up this morning to find my upper lip numb, and at noon, the left half of my face became numb with slight sensory perception, without obvious symptoms of mouth or eye drooping. Blood pressure is normal, and the doctor's preliminary diagnosis is "facial paralysis."Question: Which treatment, traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine, is more effective?
Consultation purpose: To cure my husband's illness.
Current general condition: No significant worsening.
Medical history: None.
First follow-up question: The doctor prescribed intravenous drip and physical therapy, but the physical therapy can only be done tomorrow.
The prescription for the intravenous drip is: 20% mannitol.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, mild facial paralysis is also a type of facial paralysis that needs attention. It is caused by the influence of external pathogens on the facial nerve. Although it is mild, it is still a signal. At this time, it is best to seek treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. It is recommended not to blow wind now, pay attention to rest, have a light diet, and try to avoid spicy foods such as seafood. Additionally, you can do facial massage yourself. If you cannot do it yourself, you can go to the hospital for acupuncture and physiotherapy, which can achieve good recovery results.
