Question
How should one treat a recurrence of facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial paralysis is primarily caused by facial nerve palsy, leading to weakness or paralysis of the facial expression muscles. For recurrent cases of facial paralysis, timely treatment is crucial to prevent the occurrence of sequelae. Traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture is believed to enhance recovery rates and shorten the course of the disease. During the recovery period, patients should perform facial massage and functional exercises to strengthen their immunity.
