Question
My daughter has been suffering from facial paralysis since birth, with her facial nerves always being very tight, giving a very strange sensation. Recently, she has suggested acupuncture treatment. I have been hesitating. I want to consult with a doctor about how acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis works and whether it is recommended?
Answer
The situation you described is that your daughter has had facial nerve palsy since birth, which is a condition that can be treated with acupuncture. Acupuncture treatment for facial nerve palsy is very effective, and you can also consider electroacupuncture, which may yield even better results. Additionally, you can be guided by a doctor to administer nerve-nourishing medications, such as intramuscular injections of vitamin B1 and B12, and oral administration of drugs like methycobalamin, while carefully observing the results.
