Question
I’ve had facial paralysis for 12 days and have undergone acupuncture four times, but I haven’t fully recovered yet. What should I do?
Answer
Facial paralysis is a relatively complex facial disorder, usually caused by exposure to cold, physical injury, or viral invasion. Initially, the condition presents as inflammation of the facial nerve, which is not yet accompanied by evident facial symptoms. As the illness progresses, patients may exhibit typical symptoms such as drooping eyelids and crooked mouth and eyes. We know that facial paralysis can cause significant harm to children. If treatment is not timely or the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, posing great harm to patients. Therefore, it is crucial to seek timely and proper treatment at a professional hospital.
