Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Make an inquiry, had facial paralysis for about 10 days, hospitalized for IV drips, electroacupuncture, and mugwort moxibustion. Blood pressure was 220 at that time, now 150/90. Underwent a careful examination for cavernous brain infarction. Currently, it's difficult to answer questions during dinner, mainly due to severe headache. Other functions are normal. The treatment effect is not significant, can I be discharged?
Doctor's answer:
Hello! According to your description, middle-aged and elderly males with idiopathic facial nerve palsy typically have a slower recovery from normal treatment. Since the facial nerve is damaged, there is no need to investigate which nerve is affected. Facial paralysis, also known as idiopathic facial nerve palsy, is a common clinical diagnosis that can occur in all age groups. During the edema phase, treatment is primarily based on intravenous fluids. After stabilization, acupuncture and moxibustion therapy, combined with nasal administration of traditional Chinese medicine and oral administration of the traditional Chinese medicine Qian Zheng San, are provided. The speed of complete recovery varies from person to person.
