Patient's question:
Last night, I washed my hair and didn't dry it much before taking a nap. This morning, when I got up, I had facial paralysis. How long does it take for facial paralysis to gradually recover?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis, also known as facial nerve palsy. The time it takes for each person to gradually recover varies and is related to their physical condition, treatment methods, and the duration of treatment. Generally speaking, it takes about half a month to a month. Some people, due to delayed treatment, may leave behind symptoms such as crooked mouths. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek follow-up treatment in the neurology department as soon as possible and supplement it with traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment. During this period, patients should absolutely avoid exposure to cold winds on their faces and maintain a light diet.
