Question
Can facial paralysis be cured? Should one use traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine for treatment?
Answer
If a more pronounced peripheral facial paralysis occurs again, it is advisable to visit a neurology clinic for a detailed examination. A brain MRI can help rule out brain issues. Various Western medicines that nourish the nerves can be used, and long-term use of acupuncture therapy can help stabilize the symptoms. The effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine is not particularly evident. Western medicine tends to be much more effective. Lastly, I wish you a swift recovery to health.
