Question

How should children’s facial paralysis be treated?

Answer

Patients with Chen’s facial paralysis can be treated through acupuncture, massage, and traditional Chinese medicine. If the paralysis persists for a long time, the chance of spontaneous recovery is low. The exact cause is still unknown and may be related to factors such as colds and viral infections. Facial neuritis, also known as facial paralysis, may leave sequelae if not treated actively. It is recommended that patients receive intramuscular injections of vitamin B1 and vitamin B12, as well as oral acyclovir.
