Question
The patient inquires about the progress of treatment for facial paralysis after about 10 days, mentions hospital intravenous infusion, electroacupuncture, and moxibustion as treatment methods, and raises issues about hypertension and occlusive cerebral infarction. The current main symptom is headache, and the patient asks whether it is possible to be discharged.
Answer
The physician responds that the treatment for idiopathic facial neuritis usually requires a longer period of time, and the patient may need to undergo intravenous infusion, acupuncture, and medication treatment. Additionally, the physician advises the patient not to undergo checks for specific nerve damage, as the facial nerve has already been damaged. The progress of treatment varies from person to person, and it is recommended that the patient continue treatment to accelerate recovery.
