Question
What are some effective treatment methods for facial paralysis?
Answer
The mainstream treatment methods for facial paralysis currently include acupuncture, electrotherapy, cupping, fire needle therapy, moxibustion, physical therapy, and medication. Patients with facial paralysis should seek professional diagnosis at a hospital as soon as possible to prevent delays in treatment and avoid additional suffering. It is recommended to adopt traditional Chinese medicine’s neural balance therapy for treatment. Patients should also take precautions in their daily life, maintain a positive mood, ensure adequate sleep and rest, and avoid exposure to cold wind at night. When ill, protective measures should be taken, such as wearing a mask when going out in cold weather and using an eye mask if eye closure is poor to prevent corneal injury.
