Question
My husband only has a twitching corner of his mouth on the face, it’s painful to watch. Can a twitching corner of the mouth from facial paralysis return to normal?
Answer
This depends on the specific situation, such as the duration of the illness, the specific blocked area, daily diet and activities, lifestyle, mood, and weight conditions. I suggest you consult a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and try acupuncture, massage, and Chinese medicine treatment. Don’t be too anxious; re-adjusting to a healthy lifestyle is important. Avoid using mobile phones and TVs to prevent emotional fluctuations that could worsen stroke symptoms. If stroke symptoms are detected, seek medical attention immediately. The extent of recovery within three hours or six hours can be different; earlier treatment leads to better complete recovery.
