Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant twitching in my face, sometimes accompanied by headaches, which have even been getting worse. What is the best way to treat facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis, also known as Bell's palsy, is a clinical manifestation of facial nerve palsy. The primary treatment for facial paralysis is acupuncture. In daily life, you can practice warm needle therapy, electroacupuncture, or perform facial massage. Facial muscle rehabilitation training can effectively treat the condition. The main exercises include brow-raising training, eyelid-closing training, nose-wrinkling training, cheek-puffing training, etc. It is important to avoid overexertion and appropriately enhance nutritional intake. Medication treatment mainly involves taking neurotrophic drugs. Pay attention to avoiding spicy foods at all costs during daily life, such as liquor, garlic, seafood, strong tea, spicy hot pots, etc.
