According to your description, the patient has facial paralysis, also known as Bell's palsy, and has been receiving acupuncture for 50 days.

Non-surgical methods such as medication, massage, physical therapy, and acupuncture can be used to promote inflammation reduction, edema reduction, and complete recovery of nerve function. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed.
