Question
I’ve been feeling that my face is very stiff lately. I don’t have any history of plastic surgery, and I’m wondering if I might have facial paralysis. If I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up, what kind of internal medicine appointment should I make to specifically check for facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial nerve palsy, also known as facial paralysis, is a neurological disorder that is somewhat related to viral infections or the common cold. It is recommended that you take medications under a doctor’s guidance, such as those that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, as well as nourish the nerves. Additionally, you can also consider complementary treatments like acupuncture and massage. We should face training and life with an optimistic and peaceful attitude, reduce psychological stress, and prevent overtraining. If you experience facial numbness or other discomforts again, you should seek medical attention promptly.
