Question
After recovering from facial paralysis, the patient finds it difficult to open their eyes in sunlight, while the condition is better without sunlight. The patient has undergone acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis and now wants to know how to treat the difficulty in opening their eyes.
Answer
Based on the patient’s description, the facial paralysis has lasted nearly two months, making recovery difficult. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a detailed examination of the facial nerve muscles to determine the treatment plan according to the extent of nerve muscle damage. Usually, a combination of acupuncture and laser therapy, supplemented with Chinese herbal decoctions, is more effective. Additionally, during the treatment period, the patient should maintain a light diet and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary impact on recovery.
