Patient's question:
What are the methods of using eel blood to treat facial paralysis? Can it be taken raw directly? Or do you need to stew it in soup?Doctor's answer:
Hello:I’m glad to assist you. According to the information you’ve provided, using eel blood to treat facial paralysis is a traditional folk remedy. You can apply eel blood to the inflamed side, but the treatment effect is not ideal. It is recommended to consult a neurology department for follow-up and receive standardized treatment, such as medication to nourish nerves, anesthesia, antiviral drugs, combined with heat therapy, acupuncture, and physical therapy. Rest well, avoid spicy, extremely cold, or greasy foods, and maintain a warm, easily digestible diet. Pay attention to preventing colds, avoid exposure to cold drafts, and wish you good health!
