Question
My face is stiff and difficult to move, looking like facial paralysis. What is the treatment plan for facial paralysis?
Answer
Hemifacial paralysis is often caused by catching a cold, so it’s important to immediately protect your face. You can wear a mask or scarf to keep warm and shield your face from cold winds. At the same time, you should visit a regular hospital as soon as possible. The doctor will prescribe a certain amount of hormone oral medication based on the situation to protect the recovery process of the nerves. After the acute phase, the facial paralysis will gradually recover, and you can also consider using acupuncture therapy. Acupuncture at specific facial acupoints can help accelerate the recovery process.
