Question
How should facial paralysis patients undergo effective treatment?
Answer
Facial paralysis patients typically experience nerve damage due to facial exposure to cold or wind. Treatment should first focus on maintaining facial warmth. Patients can seek treatment at the hospital’s Traditional Chinese Medicine department for acupuncture or small needle knife therapy. They should also incorporate nutritional nerve supplements into their daily routine and take traditional Chinese medications that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis to aid in treatment. Since the severity of each patient’s condition differs, patience and a consistent treatment regimen are crucial.
