Patient's question:
I don't know why I suddenly got facial paralysis. I took many medications and it somewhat relieved the symptoms. How long does facial paralysis usually take to heal?Doctor's answer:
Bell's palsy is a disease caused by abnormal nerve function in the facial muscles, leading to muscle paralysis. It is relatively difficult to treat. Initially, you can apply many blood-activating and blood-stasis-resolving ointments locally, or use many nerve-regulating medications. During treatment, it is essential to pay attention not to overexert yourself and avoid excessive exposure of the face to wind and cold, as this may worsen the condition. A positive mood is very helpful for recovery.
