Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. She has no significant abnormalities except for occasional tremors. Is Maqizi effective in treating facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial paralysis is mainly caused by facial nerve palsy and surrounding muscle atrophy, which is necessarily associated with excessive wind exposure. If diagnosed, treatment requires active nutritional nerve medications. Simply using Maqizi for treatment has relatively little effect and should be combined with therapies such as acupuncture and small needle knives to promote nerve recovery. This condition is chronic and generally difficult to cure completely, requiring patience in treatment to achieve effective results.
