Question
A relative has facial paralysis, with one side of the face lacking sensation. I plan to visit them at home tomorrow. Can facial paralysis be infected?
Answer
Facial paralysis is a symptom of a neurological disorder and is not contagious. Treatment for facial paralysis can include acupuncture therapy or oral Chinese medicine. If not treated promptly, the condition may worsen. It is recommended to seek professional advice from a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, as Chinese medicine is more proficient in treating facial paralysis. In daily life, it is advisable to avoid using cold water to wash your face to reduce facial stimulation and pay attention to regional care.
