Question
The patient is 34 years old and has had facial paralysis for half a year without improvement. They have tried acupuncture treatment but with little effect, now experiencing symptoms of oral-facial dystonia, and are concerned about potential sequelae.
Answer
Acupuncture is a common method for treating facial paralysis, but if the results are unsatisfactory, it is recommended to seek other treatment options. Avoid smoking, drinking, and spicy foods, maintain warmth, and consider consulting a professional doctor as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment.
