Question
A 60-year-old male patient presents with symptoms of facial paralysis, accompanied by hypertension. His symptoms include facial numbness, drooping of the right eye corner, and leakage of the corner of the mouth when drinking water. What treatment should be administered?
Answer
In traditional Chinese medicine, facial paralysis is believed to be caused by cold pathogenic factors leading to blood stasis. Patients should supplement calcium and vitamin B, which are beneficial for the recovery of bone, intelligence, and muscle nerve function. The causes of facial paralysis are diverse, and individual treatment is required according to different situations. Typically, a three-in-one facial nerve recovery treatment can be used to improve the microcirculation at the lesion site, repair damaged facial nerve fibers, and restore facial muscle function.
