Question
My child was about 10 years old when they got a cold after going out in the rain and blowing wind. Apart from a slight discomfort, the next day they noticed their right face was crooked, their left eye couldn’t close completely, and when blowing out their cheeks, air leaked from the left side. When eating, the left cheek also got blocked. They started hospitalizing on the 13th and received intravenous injection treatment. A few days later, their condition worsened and they needed acupuncture treatment. Does acupuncture hurt for children?
Answer
Patients with facial palsy should pay attention to prevention, maintain a cheerful mood, ensure adequate sleep and rest. Avoid being exposed to cold wind at night. Once ill, be cautious about protection; wear a mask when going out in cold weather to prevent damage to the cornea if the eyes cannot close completely. Facial palsy can bring severe harm, so if related symptoms are found, seek medical attention immediately to avoid missing the best treatment opportunity. It is recommended to use traditional Chinese medicine neurobalance therapy for treatment.
