Question
Is the combination of strong prednisone oral treatment with antibiotics and antiviral drugs an effective method for treating facial paralysis?
Answer
Western medicine treatment for facial paralysis may be effective, but long-term use of strong prednisone can potentially trigger Cushing’s syndrome, leading to neurological and psychiatric symptoms, gastrointestinal ulcers, and osteoporosis as residual effects. It is necessary to follow the doctor’s instructions when using it.
