Question
For an elderly individual, 69 years old, who has had Bell’s palsy for one year, is it easy to treat?
Answer
The treatment of Bell’s palsy does not depend on age but on whether the condition is acute or chronic. For recently onset Bell’s palsy, treatment should be proactive, involving the use of nerve-nourishing medications, and consider further enhancing the treatment effect through acupuncture methods after one week. Even in the case of elderly individuals, appropriate treatment measures can achieve therapeutic effects. Additionally, maintaining physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to decreased resistance are important auxiliary measures.
