Patient's question:
I've had facial paralysis for three months. Can it still be treated? I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, but after a long period of treatment, there hasn't been much improvement. It's still in the same condition. I'd like to ask if there could be better effects on treating facial paralysis through traditional Chinese medicine or acupuncture methods.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that patients pay close attention to the treatment of facial paralysis. Facial paralysis is a disease that may recur under conditions such as nerve-related issues or stroke due to wind. It can be treated through a thorough examination of the nervous system, acupuncture, or medication. In daily life, avoid spicy and irritating foods, including seafood, which may interfere with the condition. Instead, consume a balanced diet rich in vitamins, with a focus on foods high in iron and calcium.
