Answer
Facial paralysis is common in cases of fatigue, lack of sleep, or local cold exposure leading to facial nerve neuropathy. Severe patients may have complete facial muscle paralysis, disappearance of forehead wrinkles, enlarged eyes, flattened nasolabial fold, and drooping corners of the mouth. In young people, facial paralysis is often caused by excessive cold exposure in summer or cold wind invasion leading to peripheral nerve paralysis, which is relatively easy to treat. It is recommended to use acupuncture treatment and discuss the situation in detail with the doctor to determine the treatment plan. Acupuncture has unique efficacy in treating the nervous system and it is recommended to consult an acupuncture doctor.
