Patient's question:
Accidentally triggered my facial paralysis, now I rarely go out, have been staying at home for a long time. How long does facial paralysis take to fully recover?Doctor's answer:
For patients with facial paralysis, it is often caused by wind pathogens directly affecting the meridians. If treated, they can gradually and completely recover within about a month. If left untreated, it may lead to permanent facial paralysis. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek medical follow-up as soon as possible. The main treatments include acupuncture, electroacupuncture stimulation, and other rehabilitation therapies. Additionally, patients should maintain a light diet and avoid exposure to cold winds. It is also important to actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene.
