A patient with facial paralysis has undergone half a month of acupuncture treatment without improvement, and suggestions for combined Western medicine treatment and precautions.

Guaifenesin may have a certain therapeutic effect on neural facial palsy due to its nerve-nourishing properties, which can promote the recovery of nerve damage. However, the treatment of facial palsy should be tailored to the cause, such as facial neuritis-induced facial palsy, which can be treated with medication.
