Question
Can facial palsy be treated without medical intervention?
Answer
Facial palsy is often caused by factors such as weakened constitution, exposure to cold wind, or viral infections. Although facial palsy has a certain chance of spontaneous recovery, appropriate nutritional nerve therapy and acupuncture can promote rapid recovery during the acute phase. When facial nerve palsy is associated with the central nervous system, such as being caused by cerebrovascular disease, a differential diagnosis should be made. For peripheral facial nerve palsy, cranial CT is typically used for examination. Long-term neglect of treatment may lead to other health issues, such as affecting liver and kidney function and the microcirculatory system. It is recommended to seek professional medical advice promptly and use appropriate medication under physician guidance to promote recovery.
