Patient's question:
Grandma got facial paralysis half a year ago, especially having difficulty eating dinner with her mouth. She is currently being treated. How long does it take to recover from facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, in general cases, numbness below the waist lasting less than three months may be considered post-injury symptoms. It is usually difficult to cure, and you can consult a local traditional Chinese medicine practitioner for treatment. Through syndrome differentiation and treatment, acupuncture and physiotherapy methods can be used to implement the treatment. A very small number of patients cannot be cured, and prolonged medication treatment may be ineffective. In daily life, patients should avoid spicy and irritating foods and maintain a light diet. Additionally, in daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to exercise their bodies, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical fitness and accelerate the recovery process.
