How is Bell's palsy treated?

Patient's question:

I have been dealing with facial paralysis for nearly two years. I have received treatment before, but it didn't fully heal. When I laugh, it still doesn't look natural. If I don't get treated, what will happen in the future? Will it atrophy? Will my face become asymmetrical? Now, I have dark circles under my eyes. If I start treatment now, will I be completely cured? How should I be treated? Is it true that I can't get acupuncture every day now? How can I be completely cured?

Doctor's answer:

Facial paralysis is generally recovered through conservative treatment. In treatment, antiviral drugs, vasodilators, hormones, and local physical therapy are typically used, and most cases can recover within 1-3 months. If facial paralysis does not recover after a period of conservative treatment, surgical treatment can be adopted.
