Question
I’ve been experiencing facial stiffness since childhood and was later diagnosed with facial paralysis, or Bell’s palsy. I’d like to inquire about effective recovery methods?
Answer
Facial paralysis, also known as Bell’s palsy or facial neuritis, presents symptoms such as inability to close the eyelids, loss of facial expression, unclear speech, leakage during eating or drinking, and disappearance of forehead lines. In terms of treatment, considering a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapies, including massage and acupuncture, is advisable. Additionally, during the illness, it is important to keep warm and maintain a positive mood, as these factors are conducive to the recovery of the disease.
