Patient's question:
The past two years, due to an accident, I suffered from facial paralysis. It made me feel very lacking in confidence. I want to ask the doctor a few times, how should facial paralysis be treated.Doctor's answer:
Your facial paralysis is also known as facial nerve palsy. In common terms, it's what we often refer to as facial neuritis. This is often related to factors such as intense training, catching a cold, a weakened immune system, or irregular sleep patterns. Generally, for this condition, we recommend traditional Chinese medicine for (regulating and nurturing). Acupuncture can help stabilize the facial condition. You can also visit the neurology department at a hospital and consult a doctor for antiviral medications to complement acupuncture, which will yield better results. During your treatment, pay attention to maintaining a healthy lifestyle, getting adequate rest, staying warm, and ensuring proper nutrition. Keeping a positive mindset can help heal the condition by half.
