Question
I’ve been feeling some discomfort lately, especially as I seem to have signs of facial paralysis, and my eyes are also very uncomfortable. Could you please explain what might be going on?
Answer
The treatment for facial paralysis is not a quick fix; it usually takes some time to see results. If the symptoms have not improved after a month, one should be prepared for long-term treatment. Some patients may even require up to one to two years of treatment. However, with persistence in treatment, patients with residual effects from facial paralysis can gradually recover. In addition to acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine treatments, we can also adopt Western medicine methods such as antiviral therapy and nutritional nerve support. The combined treatment of both Eastern and Western medicine tends to yield better results. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
