Question
My family member had facial paralysis and tried acupuncture treatment, but it wasn’t very effective. What other methods are available?
Answer
The treatment for facial paralysis in modern medicine primarily involves the use of corticosteroids, B vitamins, and physical therapy. However, the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, particularly acupuncture, is widely considered the first-line treatment for this condition. It is recommended that patients seek examination and treatment at a regular hospital as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
