What should I do if a three-year-old child gets facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

Patient Age: Three years old
When blowing up, the right side does not deflate properly; it keeps moving back and forth, and the left side is unclear.
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Acupuncture worked before, but now it's crooked on the other side again.
What kind of help is desired: How should it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the best treatment for Bell's palsy is to go to the acupuncture department and have an acupuncturist perform acupuncture. It is recommended that you give your child vitamin B1 and vitamin B12 supplements, as these are vitamins that nourish the nerves and also have some preventive and therapeutic effects. Do not let your child's face be exposed to wind, and when exposed to wind, it should be evenly exposed to wind. It is not advisable to only blow on one side of the face, as this can easily lead to Bell's palsy. I hope the above answer can help you. Thank you.
