Question
Patients are curious about the methods available for treating facial paralysis and inquire if there are ways to alter their current condition.
Answer
The methods for treating facial paralysis depend on the stage of the disease. During the acute phase, anti-infection treatment is necessary to alleviate symptoms; in the recovery phase, patients can promote nerve repair by consuming vitamins and undergoing acupuncture and other traditional Chinese medicine treatments. Additionally, patients can improve the appearance often referred to as “facial paralysis face” by enriching their facial expressions.
