Patient's question:
Before, I didn't know what was wrong with her. The right half of her face was paralyzed, her eyes and mouth corners were drooping to the left, and her left eyebrow couldn't be raised upward. Hello, what medicine is good for fast recovery in the initial stage of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy in medical terms, is often caused by exposure to wind or cold. During the acute phase, which is within the first seven days, oral medications that support nerve nutrition can be taken, such as vitamin B1. In the acute phase, a small amount of prednisone acetate tablets can also be taken (note the side effects). However, after seven days, treatment should primarily focus on methods such as acupuncture. The effectiveness may not be particularly pronounced, and recovery usually begins to improve gradually after one month. Some people may fully recover to normal within three months.
