Patient's question:
Our child is now two years old, but I suddenly noticed some facial nerve paralysis. It may be related to the illness mentioned a few days 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, a small number of patients have 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, using a towel soaked in hot water to apply warm compresses to the affected area, or using a hot water bag to warm the face, noting to prevent burns. Generally, it recovers within one to two weeks.
