Patient's question:
Two months ago, during a dinner party, I drank alcohol and rode my electric bike home before going to sleep. The next morning, I woke up with facial paralysis on my right side. I visited a doctor, took medication for over two months, and still haven't fully recovered. During that time, I also had acupuncture. Now, I always wear a mask when I go out.Hello, how long does the recovery period for facial paralysis usually last?
Doctor's answer:
In the acute phase of facial paralysis, we use medications to stabilize the circulation and repeatedly nourish the nerves. Then, during the recovery phase, we also need to take some nerve-nourishing medications. Common medications include methylcobalamin capsules or B vitamins. For complete recovery from facial paralysis, it takes a process, and the time varies for each person. Some may need several months or even longer. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
