Patient's question:
The child discovered the facial paralysis and fever condition, and has been treated for ten days with not very ideal results. What should be done? How can pediatric facial paralysis be effectively treated?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric facial paralysis is primarily treated using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The goal of treatment is to eliminate facial nerve edema, promote the recovery of the myelin sheath and axons of the facial nerve, and achieve the objective of restoring the entire damaged nerve. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment mainly involves acupuncture therapy administered in stages, with different Chinese herbal medicines used for each stage. Western medicine treatment primarily includes the use of physical therapy equipment and facial muscle training programs. When necessary, neurotrophic drugs such as nerve growth factor and B vitamins can be combined for treatment.
