Question
I am 42 years old and have recently felt some discomfort in my body, which turned out to be facial paralysis. However, I have been undergoing acupuncture for 8 days now and there has been no improvement. What could be the reason for no improvement after 8 days of facial paralysis acupuncture?
Answer
According to your description, the lack of improvement after 8 days of acupuncture for facial paralysis may be due to recurrent facial paralysis, facial nerve inflammation, immune system issues, and irregular daily life. Neural damage may worsen, leading to a slower recovery. It is advised not to worry too much; early acupuncture and infrared therapy can yield better results for facial paralysis. At the same time, be mindful to avoid facial exposure to cold, maintain adequate rest, avoid overtime work and excessive fatigue, and pay attention to a light and balanced diet. These are the recommendations for your question; I hope they are helpful.
