Question
The child noticed a crooked mouth and swollen face upon waking up on December 20, 2013. Other conditions were normal. The child was hospitalized at the Chun Chun City Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and inquired about the need for continued medication.
Answer
According to the described situation, the main cause is weakness of the body constitution and external pathogenic factors leading to an attack of Bell’s palsy. The condition has improved currently, but precautions should be taken to keep warm and to complement treatment with nerve-nourishing medication such as Mycoben. It is also important to maintain a cheerful mood. It is important to note that if Bell’s palsy is not treated promptly or the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, having a significant impact on children. Parents should pay more attention and take their children to the doctor in a timely manner.
