Patient's question:
I got facial paralysis a month ago, and my mouth corner has been drooping significantly. I am undergoing acupuncture treatment at the hospital. The doctor told me to have an anesthetic facial muscle injection of neurotrophic factor, saying it can accelerate complete recovery. What kind of medication is injected for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is a traditional Chinese medicine treatment for facial nerve palsy and facial nerve neuritis. It primarily refers to the inflammation of the facial nerve and the paralysis of facial muscles controlled by the facial nerve. There are many methods for treating facial neuritis, such as medication, rehabilitation therapy, and physical therapy. Acupuncture is recommended as a treatment for Bell's palsy. Acupuncture can improve facial blood circulation, alleviate facial nerve edema caused by facial neuritis, and promote the recovery of facial nerve function. It is an effective and rapid method for treating Bell's palsy.
