How long does it take for facial paralysis to recover?

Patient's question:

The weather is too cold, it's frozen my whole face to the point of collapse. How long will it take for my facial paralysis to fully recover?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, the recovery period is usually within three months. The duration of recovery varies from person to person. Bell's palsy is most often caused by viral damage to the nerves. Generally, oral medications to nourish the nerves and antiviral medications can be used for treatment. At the same time, acupuncture and physiotherapy can be combined. It is important to pay attention to preventing colds, avoiding exposure to cold, and refraining from spicy and irritating foods. Maintain a light diet and take care of your physical and mental health. Keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
