Question
Facial paralysis has greatly impacted my life; I can’t even speak clearly. How should I treat facial paralysis?
Answer
If there is facial neuralgia, it is important to conduct a detailed examination to determine whether the facial paralysis is caused by cerebrovascular disease or by facial neuritis. If it is caused by cerebrovascular disease, active use of anticoagulant drugs and nerve-nourishing medications is required for treatment. If the condition is caused by neuritis, then it should be treated with active acupuncture therapy and nerve-nourishing medications for nourishment.
