Question
After the treatment of facial palsy, will the condition worsen, and how should it be handled?
Answer
Following treatment for facial palsy, if the condition does not improve and complications arise, it is important to immediately cease unnecessary treatments, particularly frequent acupuncture and massage. Current treatment methods include cold compresses, massage, and oral nutritional nerve medications. For intractable complications, physical therapy can be used to improve symptoms; however, it is important to reduce the frequency and intensity of treatment to avoid further deterioration.
