Question
The patient developed facial paralysis soon after giving birth and it has been four years now. I hope to understand the current treatment methods for facial paralysis.
Answer
Common treatment methods for facial paralysis include acupuncture, electrical therapy, cupping, moxibustion, physical therapy, and plasters. Patients should seek diagnosis at a regular hospital promptly to avoid missing the best treatment window and increasing their suffering. It is recommended to adopt the traditional Chinese medicine neurobalance therapy for treatment. Patients should also pay attention to prevention in their daily lives, maintain a positive mood, ensure adequate sleep and rest. At night, they should avoid exposure to cold winds. When sick, protective measures should be taken, wearing a mask when going out in cold weather, and using an eye mask if eye closure is poor to prevent corneal injury.
