Question

What is the best method for treating facial palsy?

Answer

Early treatment is key for facial palsy. Currently, there is no single best treatment method; instead, a comprehensive treatment plan is formulated after assessment. Common treatments include antiviral drugs, nerve-nourishing medications, hormones, as well as traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture. For patients with a longer course of the disease, recovery may be more difficult and time-consuming due to the potential entry into the post-facial palsy syndrome stage.
