Patient's question:
My wife's father has had facial paralysis for over two and a half months. Now his mouth is and his eyes are slanted, and his appearance is not good. I heard that acupuncture and other treatments can cure it. He has been receiving acupuncture for two months, but there has been no significant improvement. What should be done for facial paralysis, with a mouth and slanted eyes? Are there any good treatment methods?Doctor's answer:
A complete recovery from the illness requires a certain amount of time. Do not be impatient or anxious. The presence and encouragement of family members can help in the full recovery from the disease. Moreover, during the treatment period, it is important to take medication regularly or visit the hospital for further and thorough examinations to check for any other illnesses. In daily life, take preventive measures against cold and wind exposure, such as wearing masks with the wind, and adjust your diet structure by avoiding foods that may trigger flare-ups.
