Question
I have recently developed facial paralysis and am currently undergoing treatment, but I’m unsure of how to manage it. I am experiencing discomfort in my face, with twitching and uncontrollable movements, and the hospital has diagnosed it as facial paralysis.
Answer
If it’s in the early stages, acupuncture combined with traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine can be used for treatment. If the condition is more severe, surgery may be necessary, involving the use of special materials to isolate the facial nerve from the blood vessels behind the ear, which has the potential to completely resolve the issue. However, if the paralysis has been present for a long time, leading to changes in appearance, recovery may be more difficult.
