Question
What Western medications are used to treat facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial paralysis is often caused by various factors such as catching a cold, wind invasion, and viral infections. Antiviral, adjusting, and nerve-nourishing Western medications are effective for treatment, but if treated with Western medications alone, the effect is relatively slow. It is best to take Chinese herbal medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis, unblocks meridians and collaterals, and removes wind-dampness at the same time. Combining this with acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy methods can achieve the fastest effect.
