Question

My uncle has facial paralysis and he wants to know if it can be treated with cold compresses.

Answer

Hello, patients with facial paralysis can apply cold compresses locally, but according to the condition, combining methods such as acupuncture, physical therapy, and massage often yields better results. In daily life, it’s important to avoid catching colds and exposure to cold winds, and to also take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for a period of time. Do not be overly anxious and adjust the treatment plan according to the treatment response. The above suggestions are for reference only.
