Question
How should facial paralysis be massaged for treatment?
Answer
Firstly, it is not advisable to immediately provide massage therapy during the acute phase of facial paralysis. During the acute phase, it is recommended to consult a regular hospital for a follow-up visit, and to pay attention to preventing colds. Depending on the situation, you may use corticosteroids, nerve-nourishing drugs, and vitamin medications. Some patients with facial paralysis have severe conditions or use improper methods for treatment, which may result in residual symptoms. Usually, if there is still an abnormal appearance in the face three months after understanding the treatment, consider providing regional acupuncture or self-massage to alleviate the condition.
