Question
Recently suffered from facial paralysis due to a stroke, currently receiving anesthetic hormone treatment in the hospital. I am inquiring about the dosage of the facial paralysis hormone.
Answer
After suffering from facial paralysis due to a stroke, if you experience limited movement in one side of the facial muscles, you should consult a professional physician and avoid using hormone medications on your own. Generally, the initial dose of prednisone is 15 to 20 milligrams, administered continuously via intravenous infusion for seven days and gradually reduced to 5 milligrams before stopping treatment. For the treatment of facial paralysis, it is recommended to combine acupuncture and moxibustion with traditional Chinese medicine therapies.
