Patient's question:
A relative has facial paralysis, and half of their face has no sense of touch. I want to visit them at home tomorrow. Does facial paralysis spread through infection?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is a neurological disorder and is not contagious. It can be treated with acupuncture or oral Chinese herbal medicine. If left untreated, the condition may worsen. It is recommended to visit a traditional Chinese medicine hospital for treatment, as they are quite skilled in this area. In daily life, it is important to avoid using very cold water to wash your face, as it may irritate the face. Additionally, attention should be paid to enhancing local care.
