Question
After a period of medication treatment following the onset of facial palsy, the effects are not significant. Is there a better treatment method available?
Answer
The treatment for facial palsy is not a one-size-fits-all approach; it requires a comprehensive assessment to tailor an individualized treatment plan. This includes the use of antiviral drugs, nerve-nourishing medications, hormones, and combines traditional therapies such as Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Early treatment after onset is more effective. For patients with a longer duration of the disease, recovery becomes more difficult and takes longer.
