Patient's question:
My mouth is always crooked, my eyes are not right, the nostrils are asymmetrical, my tongue is numb, my right ear sometimes hurts a bit, and it's very uncomfortable. I went to an acupuncturist, who said my condition cannot be treated with acupuncture, only with needles and medicine?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, your mouth is always crooked, and your eyes and nose are asymmetrical, which is a symptom of facial paralysis. There is no self-treatment method for facial paralysis. Timely intervention is crucial for the recovery of facial paralysis. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and combine acupuncture with cupping therapy. Facial paralysis can be treated by applying eel blood, and methods such as acupuncture, injury repair, cupping, cauterization, fire needle therapy, electroacupuncture, physical therapy, nasal decongestants, and manual therapy can be used.
