Bilateral facial paralysis, how to treat?

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. Please advise on the treatment for bilateral facial paralysis.

Doctor's answer:

For patients with bilateral facial paralysis, first, during the onset period, it is important to prevent cold air from blowing on the face. Try to wear a mask when going out. At the same time, the treatment mainly focuses on moxibustion, electroacupuncture, and acupuncture for rehabilitation. Generally, after receiving standardized treatment, recovery can be achieved within 2 to 3 weeks. It is also possible to combine hormone-based medications for treatment during the onset period. During this time, patients should maintain a light diet, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate their physical and mental health.
