Patient's question:
Our child is now two years old. But suddenly, I noticed some facial nerve paralysis. It might be related to the illness mentioned some time ago. Could you please ask how long it takes for facial nerve paralysis in young children to recover with treatment?Doctor's answer:
Pediatric facial paralysis is a common clinical traumatic, Bell's palsy, and otitis media mastoiditis. Especially traumatic. Additionally, there are a small number of patients with congenital deformities and malignant diseases. Mainly when sleeping or at rest. Observe whether both sides are symmetrical when it moves freely and expressively (such as crying or laughing). Pay attention to keeping the face warm. Soak a towel in hot water and apply it to the affected area. Or use a hot water bag to warm the face. Be careful to prevent burns. Generally, it recovers within one to two weeks.
