The symptoms of facial wind can be mild or severe. Mild cases can manifest as facial sensory abnormalities, such as facial numbness and pain, which can be relieved by applying heat or rest. Some patients with wind damage to the face may have impaired facial nerve function, with peripheral facial neuritis manifesting as loss of facial muscle movement, shallowing of the nasolabial folds, and inability to puff out the cheeks. In severe cases, there may also be poor eyelid closure and pain behind the affected ear, which is considered to be caused by swelling of the facial nerve. In the acute stage of peripheral facial neuritis caused by wind, patients can be given hormone doses or oral doses to relieve facial nerve edema, as well as nerve-nourishing B vitamins such as methylcobalamin and vitamin B12. In addition, acupuncture, massage, cupping and bloodletting can also be given to patients to promote the recovery of facial muscle dysfunction.
