Question
I have had facial paralysis for several months now. I have tried acupuncture and medication treatments, but my condition has not improved. What should I do in my daily life to help my condition?
Answer
If you started acupuncture treatment early in the onset of the illness, along with Chinese or Western medicine, this approach is feasible. For more severe cases, it is best to undergo surgical treatment, using specific materials to separate the facial nerve from the blood vessels behind the ear. This method may offer a complete solution to the problem. However, if the facial paralysis has persisted for a long time and has already caused changes in facial appearance, the chances of recovery are relatively low.
