Question
I’ve had facial palsy for two years now. Initially, I took traditional Chinese medicine and used mugwort steaming therapy. The effects were not very good after 5-6 months. I haven’t seen a doctor since then and have been using mugwort steaming therapy consistently. Now, I’m crooked on the right side, with one eye larger than the other. The mouth is very obvious when pouting. Can it still be cured?
Answer
Considering the 22-year-old is relatively young, it is generally caused by facial neuritis leading to facial palsy, and corticosteroids can be administered. Crooked on the right side? You can try a prednisone pulse treatment, drink plenty of water, get adequate rest, enhance nutrition, and keep warm.
