Patient's question:
Previously, I suffered from facial paralysis for a period due to high work pressure. Now, it has finally improved. Is the recurrence rate of facial paralysis high?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence rate of Bell's palsy is not high. It is generally a condition that will not flare up again, even if it does, the interval between episodes can be very long. After complete recovery from Bell's palsy treatment, it is essential to continue with proper care. Avoid direct exposure of the face to cold wind, and consider wearing a mask when going outdoors for protection against cold. Cold compresses can be applied to the face daily if necessary to improve local blood circulation, reduce discomfort, and further enhance recovery.
