Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. Is it effective to apply ginger to the face to treat facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Ginger has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but it can also be irritating to the skin. Therefore, it should be dissolved before use. The main cause of facial paralysis may be related to viral infection and poor or blocked cerebral blood circulation. It is important to seek medical attention at a formal hospital and not to self-treat. Combining acupuncture, nerve nutrition, and blood circulation-promoting drugs can work together to solve the problem. Generally, complete recovery can be achieved within 2 to 3 weeks.
