Question
How long can acupuncture for facial paralysis be stopped?
Answer
Facial paralysis is often considered a clinical manifestation caused by a neural reflex dysfunction. Generally, the prognosis for young people with sudden onset of facial paralysis is quite good, with many cases being caused by viral infections. It is recommended that you take some antiviral medications, such as Acyclovir, and also use nerve-nourishing medications like Methyclothiazide, which can help with the recovery of your facial nerve. Don’t worry too much; usually, it will improve in about a month.
