Question
I’ve had facial paralysis for three months and have been consistently doing acupuncture. My condition has stabilized recently, but my mouth corner still twitches. What should I do about the twitching during the recovery period of facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial paralysis is a condition characterized by facial nerve palsy, primarily caused by damage to the facial nerve function. It is predominantly due to decreased human immunity and viral infections. Generally, after the acute phase, the subsequent treatment mainly relies on acupuncture, physical therapy, and gradually restoring function through these methods. Additionally, some nerve-nourishing medications are recommended to be taken. The recovery of nerve function is a process that requires persistence in treatment.
