Question

My cousin has had facial muscle stiffness since a car accident two years ago, which is commonly known as facial palsy. Her face looks stiff all the time, and she can’t express joy, anger, sadness, or happiness. She wants to be cured. Hello, what are the treatment methods for facial palsy?

Answer

Hello! For patients with facial palsy, non-surgical treatment methods are generally adopted. These often include medication such as antiviral drugs, nutritional nerve supplements, and corticosteroids, along with physical therapy and acupuncture treatments. If the patient’s facial nerve palsy does not fully recover after strict treatment, surgical treatment may be necessary.
