Question
My sister-in-law had facial paralysis before, and recently she said she has a bit of itching on her face. Is the facial itching in facial paralysis improving?
Answer
The recurrence of itching in patients with facial paralysis could be due to interference after acupuncture or the use of certain medications. Pay attention to whether there are rashes. If there are no rashes, it’s not a concern. If there are rashes, be aware of allergic reactions. Facial paralysis patients should do more massage, physical therapy, or cold compresses to enhance regional blood circulation and aid in nerve recovery.
