Question
What is facial palsy, and which department should I visit for diagnosis?
Answer
Facial palsy is a disorder that impacts the facial muscles, causing the muscles to fail to function normally during the condition, sometimes leading to facial distortion. When seeking a diagnosis, you should consult with a neurologist or an otolaryngologist. Currently, there are many treatment methods for facial palsy, with common and effective treatments including applying plasters, acupuncture, taking oral traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. These treatments have the potential to help patients restore normal function to their facial muscles.
