Question
Doctor, for a 69-year-old patient with facial palsy, do you think it’s easy to treat at this age? And he has a one-year history of the condition now. Now he doesn’t know if there’s no cure. Doctor, do you think it’s treatable?
Answer
Firstly, facial palsy does not discriminate by age but rather depends on whether it is acute or chronic. If someone has recently developed facial palsy, it is crucial to actively implement treatment, using various nerve-nourishing medications. After a week, consider further enhancing the effect through methods like acupuncture. Even for the elderly, this is achievable. For the care and health management of any disease, maintaining a stable mindset is essential, as a positive attitude can greatly aid in both the treatment and prevention of the disease.
