Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm three months pregnant and suddenly developed facial paralysis. How should this facial paralysis in a pregnant woman be treated?Doctor's answer:
If a pregnant woman experiences facial nerve palsy again, there is currently no particularly effective method for treatment. The options available mainly involve traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture and therapy, which should be beneficial in stabilizing symptoms. If treatment is necessary, it should be done with minimal interference. Currently, during pregnancy, using Western medicine to nourish the nerves may potentially affect the baby's growth and development.
