Treatment of Facial Palsy in a 5-Year-Old Child

Question

A 5-year-old child was discovered to have facial palsy on October 13th. The child has been undergoing acupuncture treatment for a month and has shown some improvement, but has not yet fully recovered. What should be done next?

Answer

For the treatment of pediatric facial palsy, it is recommended to first use personalized traditional Chinese medicine treatment as a foundation, and consider complementing it with facial nerve acupuncture. At the same time, the child’s dietary nutrition should be improved, and long-term acupuncture treatment should be avoided. Adjust the medication treatment plan as needed based on the recovery of the condition or changes in physical status. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health.
