Question
Can mild facial paralysis be cured? Is it genetic? What should I do?
Answer
Hello, the treatment for facial paralysis includes Western medicine, such as the use of hormones and nerve nutrients to improve microcirculation and antiviral treatment, as well as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and neurosurgical treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine uses acupuncture (including various techniques such as electroacupuncture and warm needle acupuncture), massage, and ointments. Once facial nerve palsy occurs, treatment should be initiated promptly, using medications like Chuan Zheng San, combined with acupuncture and physical therapy. For patients who cannot close their eyes, eye masks should be used for protection, and masks should be worn when going out to prevent the worsening of the condition due to wind evil.
