How should Bell's palsy be treated?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to consult about how to treat facial paralysis. Currently, I am mainly implementing traditional Chinese medicine therapy, specifically acupuncture, but I don't feel the effect is particularly significant. If I were to use Western medicine treatment, are there many better treatment methods available?

Doctor's answer:

If you have facial paralysis, it is usually treated with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture, in addition to the treatment method of small needle knife. At the same time, the use of nerve-nourishing drugs should be coordinated. You need to pay attention to facial nerve palsy, as the specific degree of nerve damage varies depending on individual constitution. Therefore, the time to fully recover can differ. It is recommended that you still undergo a thorough examination of facial nerve function to accurately calculate the time for full recovery.
