Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Facial paralysis today is the ninth day, eight days of injections have been given, and medication has just started today. Acupuncture has also begun, but it's still not showing any improvement. What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
The cause of Bell's palsy is currently not yet clear, but it can be triggered by factors such as a cold or viral infection, which may lead to the paralysis of one side of the facial nerve. This can result in the disappearance of wrinkles on one side of the forehead, a shallow nasolabial fold, and the inability to close the eye. You can receive intramuscular injections of vitamin B1 and vitamin B12, take acyclovir tablets orally, and be treated with prednisone. At the same time, acupuncture and physical therapy can be used to alleviate symptoms and prevent the development of long-term complications.
