Question
How to treat facial palsy corners? My child has facial palsy and I would like to ask the doctor about possible treatment measures for the corners of the facial palsy.
Answer
Hormonal shock therapy can be used, along with vasodilators and neurotrophic drugs. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, it is advisable to choose herbs with the effects of dispelling wind and cold, and activating blood circulation to remove blood stasis. In addition, acupuncture is also an effective treatment method that requires continuous application to adjust the condition. Generally speaking, good treatment results can be achieved with proper treatment. Patients should also pay attention to cold prevention and avoid catching a cold in daily life. The treatment of facial palsy can be divided into acute phase, recovery phase, and sequelae phase. The acute phase usually lasts for 7-10 days, during which herbal medicine is mainly used to dispel wind and promote circulation.
