Patient's question:
Doctor, my aunt suddenly developed facial paralysis a few weeks ago, and it hasn't improved yet. We all don't know what to pay attention to with this disease, so we don't know how to take care of her. That's why I want to ask, what are the precautions for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
If facial paralysis reoccurs, which is also a case of facial nerve inflammation, it may be due to recurrent nerve damage, as well as local muscle spasms or re-exposure to cold. This can easily lead to difficulty closing the eyes again or the recurrence of drooling. Local acupuncture can be used in conjunction with neurotrophic medications to support treatment. Additionally, it is necessary to combine the use of wind-dispelling and cold-dispelling medications.
