Does the face hurt during the recovery period from facial paralysis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, after 2 months of treatment, I am now close to entering the recovery period of facial paralysis. I want to know if it is painful during the recovery period of facial paralysis.

Doctor's answer:

Bell's palsy, also known as facial paralysis, is a disease caused by facial nerve palsy. Facial paralysis may lead to muscle atrophy, and in severe cases, it can cause a series of symptoms such as drooping mouth corners and difficulty eating. However, facial pain does not occur. First, anti-wind and blood-activating drugs should be taken to effectively relieve facial paralysis. Acupuncture can also be used to directly stimulate acupoints, effectively alleviating the symptoms of facial paralysis.
