Patient's question:
I blew air conditioning in the summer and later got facial paralysis. But now I have a cold again, and I've also had acupuncture treatment. What should I do if I get facial paralysis and a cold again?Doctor's answer:
The common cold has a certain relieving effect on facial paralysis. The treatment of facial paralysis is not just acupuncture. Early medication treatment is very important. Generally, the recovery period of facial paralysis requires medication treatment two to three months earlier, which will reduce the occurrence of sequelae. Anesthesia is caused by facial nerve tube edema leading to facial nerve control symptoms. From a Western medicine perspective, acupuncture is not allowed in the first week of the onset, as it can easily relieve the condition.
