Question
Is there a treatment for post-polio syndrome? My face still looks a bit crooked, especially around the corners of my mouth. Friends suggest trying acupuncture. Is this effective? How many sessions would it take? I’m not against acupuncture, but I’m worried that if done incorrectly, it might worsen the condition.
Answer
Hello, I’m glad to clarify your concerns. You have post-polio syndrome, so please don’t be overly stressed. You can take vitamin B1 orally for treatment, and at the same time, you can complement it with traditional Chinese acupuncture. Treatment should last at least a month. During treatment, always maintain a positive and optimistic attitude. Rest on time, engage in physical exercise actively, and cooperate with your doctor for rehabilitation training. Wishing you good health.
