Question
I’ve suddenly developed facial paralysis, and now I have some pain in my ear. How should I treat facial paralysis with ear pain?
Answer
If you have already been diagnosed with facial paralysis, this condition may be related to damage to the facial nerve or trigeminal nerve. If you experience ear pain again, this may be due to irritation of the ear canal nerve, and it’s important to closely monitor for symptoms such as purulent discharge from the ear, which could indicate an infection like otitis media. After diagnosis, it’s essential to actively combine treatments such as acupuncture, massage, and nutritional therapy for the nerves. If there is inflammation, anti-inflammatory treatment should be combined.
