Patient's question:
My husband's mouth suddenly twisted, and after a careful examination, it was found that he had facial paralysis. I want to ask if there are any self-treatment methods for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Using acupuncture and physiotherapy to assist in controlling symptoms and gradually restoring full recovery. If not treated actively, there may be residual sequelae. It is best to go to the hospital's neurology department for follow-up treatment, and under the guidance of a doctor, use antiviral drugs, corticosteroids, and other medications for treatment, while also coordinating with neurotrophic drugs. You can also perform conventional treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Self-massage, including a full-face massage, can be done. Usually, the palms are rubbed together to generate heat, then placed on both cheeks, and massaged from the lower part of the face upwards to the forehead. Then, it moves from in front of the ears upwards to the lower jaw, until the cheeks feel warm again.
