Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

It is best to implement acupuncture treatment while taking oral neuro-nourishing medications. By stimulating acupoints such as Zangdi, Baoyang, Zygomatic, Yuyao, Sibai, and Hegu, facial blood and qi circulation can be activated, effectively dispelling wind and cold stagnation in the face, and fully restoring normal facial muscle function. It is recommended to wash your face with warm water during treatment, and you can also apply cold compress therapy. Additionally, wear a mask when going out to avoid direct exposure to cold wind, as this may worsen the symptoms of facial paralysis. For acute facial neuritis, once diagnosed, early antiviral treatment with hormones and symptomatic therapy should be initiated. If the optimal treatment window is missed, it may lead to post-stroke sequelae. Appropriately enhance the intake of B vitamins.
