Question
Hello! I am 37 years old and had a right-sided facial palsy due to an accident at the age of 6. After acupuncture treatment, I still have some residual symptoms, including facial twitching when blinking, a buzzing sound in the right ear when blowing up, the inability to raise the upper lip on the right side, and tearing when eating irritating food. What treatment methods can improve these residual symptoms?
Answer
The main symptoms of post-facial palsy include the disappearance of forehead wrinkles, crooked lips, and droopy eyelids, which are usually associated with facial nerve injury. Complete recovery is unlikely, and it is recommended to seek treatment in the acupuncture department, which may help with the condition. Additionally, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition, detect and treat early to prevent the deterioration of the disease.
