Patient's question:
I have facial paralysis. Because I'm usually busy, I haven't paid attention to it. It's said that applying a facial paralysis ointment patch on the face can help treat facial paralysis. I'd like to ask how long should the facial paralysis ointment patch be applied?Doctor's answer:
The facial paralysis ointment generally needs to be applied for about two weeks around the affected area. If the patient's condition is severe, the specialized ointment alone may not solve the problem; if the patient's condition is mild, applying facial paralysis ointment is effective. Facial paralysis typically manifests as the patient's inability to frown, food residue during bowel movements, leakage of water when washing the face, or air leakage when whistling. If the patient's condition is severe, the best treatment for facial paralysis is a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine rehabilitation therapy.
