Doctor's answer:
Hello! Your condition is clinically referred to as facial nerve palsy, and most believe it is caused by a viral infection. Since it is a viral infection that heals on its own, it requires a process. In the early stages, antiviral treatment is necessary, such as acyclovir. Additionally, you need neurotrophic drugs, such as methylcobalamin or vitamin B1 and vitamin B12, administered via intramuscular injection. At the same time, acupuncture and physical therapy should be used in combination. Generally, recovery can begin after about 2 weeks.
