Question
After a child has a fever and their mouth is crooked when laughing or crying, diagnosed with right facial neuritis, they are currently undergoing treatment. Is acupuncture therapy still necessary?
Answer
Facial muscles are controlled by both hemispheres of the brain, and facial expressions reflect complex neural activities. Treatment should emphasize stimulating muscle activity. High-intensity stimulation can elicit natural reflexes, stimulate facial nerve motor neurons, and promote the recovery of facial expressions.
