Question
Where can I find a hospital for treating facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial paralysis is an acute form of facial neuritis, with the best treatment outcomes in the acute stage. Treatment usually involves medications such as corticosteroids. If the condition persists beyond one month, acupuncture alone may have limited effects, and facial nerve grafting surgery with other nerves may be necessary. In treatment, emphasis should be placed on reducing regional inflammation and edema, and promoting the recovery of the lower leg. Non-surgical methods such as acupuncture and oral vitamin B6 can be adopted to promote the resolution of inflammation. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
