Question
Hello, what are the methods for treating facial paralysis? Is facial paralysis genetic or influenced by psychological stress?
Answer
The usual method for treating facial paralysis is to suggest acupuncture and massage therapy, along with the intake of medications that nourish the brain and nerves, which are conducive to the recovery of the condition. Facial paralysis is generally caused by catching a cold, so it’s advisable to pay attention to local cold compresses and more frequent massage. It’s also suggested to wear a mask when going out and to avoid consuming foods that may affect the condition, as well as to refrain from overtime work. If the condition is severe, it’s best to seek treatment at a regular hospital.
