Facial paralysis (Bell's palsy)

This is an event that happened on December 31st when I was 49 years old.

I remember working very hard back then if it meant making money.

I was working at a company, and when I was busy without even weekends off, I would go out and do overtime work.

 

It was winter, and a few days ago, I started feeling chills. It was cold, and I seemed to have caught a cold and body aches, so my condition was not very good.

It's not that serious, I can endure it, so I didn't go to the hospital. I just let it go... But suddenly, while working...

I also experienced twitching under my right eye and suddenly felt pain below my ear. It was a stabbing pain that came and went quickly. Since it disappeared, I just ignored it, and it became the last night of the year.

I woke up and was drinking water when I was surprised to see water flowing down my chin, and when I looked in the mirror, I saw that my mouth was turned to the right.

Facial paralysis! It was Bell's palsy.

 

I was so surprised that I went to the hospital, got an MRI, and all the tests done... and they said my brain is perfectly fine.

 

The doctor said it seems like I came because of a flu virus...

I was confident about my health, but I never thought I would develop Bell's palsy without any cause.

Children and young people, colds. It was said to be a common illness caused by viruses that lead to body aches.

To reduce aftereffects, I was hospitalized for four days for intensive treatment, then discharged and took hospital medication, and went to a traditional Korean medicine clinic for acupuncture. The doctor asked, "Didn't your ears hurt behind them at first?" and when I said yes,

They said it would have been okay even if I had just gone to the Korean medicine clinic and had blood drawn... I had no idea. If I had recognized the early symptoms, I might have been able to prevent "Bell's palsy."

I have been diligently treated with traditional Korean medicine and Western medicine for four months, and now I have returned to normal.

I always tell when it comes to health stories.

When you have a cold or flu! If you experience a stabbing pain behind your ear, be sure to visit a Korean medicine clinic first.
