For traumatic facial paralysis, which department should you consult?

Patient's question:

What department should I go to for peripheral facial paralysis? I have had facial paralysis for several days now, and my mouth is slanted and my eyes are, which is very uncomfortable. I don't know which department to go to at the hospital. What department should I go to for traumatic facial paralysis?

Doctor's answer:

This type of injury may require careful examination and treatment by a neurosurgeon. Traumatic nerve injuries are generally not easy to treat because nerves do not have the ability to regenerate, and this is directly related to the severity of the injury.
It is recommended that in such cases, you can seek treatment at the hospital's Traditional Chinese Medicine department. Methods such as acupuncture and electroacupuncture can be used to stimulate local meridians, which can then be combined with herbal medicine to regulate the body and potentially achieve stabilization.
