Patient's question:
My aunt went back home from school the other night and said she felt her face was extremely stiff. Because it had been quite cold these days, we thought she had frozen, so we told her to wash her face and take a nap. But by the third day, we noticed her mouth was, and it was confirmed that she had facial paralysis. Can facial paralysis be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis requires timely treatment, and integrative Chinese and Western medicine can achieve complete self-healing. Western medicine calls this condition facial nerve palsy or neuritis, and it can recur at any age. This is a very common disease, with the self-healing period generally lasting about two months. Taking medication while coordinating acupuncture is necessary. Additionally, functional exercises like opening the mouth and raising the eyebrows are essential. It's important to maintain a stable mindset and pay attention to your diet as well.
