Patient's question:
I have been dealing with facial paralysis for three months and have been persistently doing acupuncture. Recently, it has stabilized somewhat, but there is still some trembling in my mouth corner. How can I deal with mouth corner trembling during the recovery period of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is a facial nerve paralysis disease. It is primarily caused by damage to facial nerve function, with the majority of cases resulting from a weakened immune system and viral infections. After the acute phase, treatment in the later stages mainly relies on acupuncture, physical therapy, and gradual restoration of function. Additionally, it is recommended to take some nerve-nourishing medications in coordination. Complete recovery of nerve function requires a process, so it is advised to persist with treatment.
