Patient's question:
I've been treating my facial paralysis with hormones for a week. No acupuncture, just want to go out and do a light makeup, is that okay? Besides the facial paralysis getting better, can I eat spicy food? Can I use simple cosmetics for facial paralysis? I need to wear makeup after work.Doctor's answer:
During the treatment period, you are not allowed to wear makeup. If the facial paralysis is mild, it only affects appearance, causing mouth corner when smiling. In severe cases, it can lead to the inability to close the eyes, pouting, and interfere with normal life. Most facial paralysis patients, during the acute phase of the illness, will not have significant after-effects after proper treatment, and their normal life will not be affected. In the later stage, acupuncture and facial acupuncture can be used in combination to promote the recovery of facial function.
