Question
I have had facial paralysis for 12 days, and after four sessions of acupuncture treatment, I have not fully recovered. What should I do?
Answer
Facial paralysis is a relatively complex condition that is usually caused by exposure to cold, physical injury, or viral invasion. Initially, it manifests as inflammation of the facial nerve, which does not yet show obvious facial symptoms. As the condition progresses, patients may experience symptoms such as drooping of the eyelid and crooked mouth. We know that facial paralysis can cause significant harm to children. If it is not treated promptly or if the treatment method is incorrect, its progression can be rapid, posing great harm to patients. Therefore, it is crucial to seek timely treatment at a professional hospital, which is the key to recovery.
