Question
How can facial paralysis be treated? My facial expressions were never very rich, and now, I’m being nagged by my wife and family. Where is the best hospital for treating facial paralysis?
Answer
Treatment for facial paralysis is generally available at second-tier hospitals at or above the county level. The condition is mainly due to viral infection and related to immune system dysfunction. Therefore, in the initial stage, anti-viral drugs, corticosteroids, and blood circulation-promoting medications can be administered in combination with intravenous therapy for about a week. Additionally, acupuncture treatment can be combined with nutritional nerve drugs such as Meclofenamate, Ginkgo Biloba oral, Vitamin B1, and B12 intramuscular injections.
