Patient's question:
Brother-in-law's wife Pingping hasn't been to my house for several days. When I asked, I found out that she is undergoing treatment for facial paralysis and currently cannot close her eyes. Previously, I didn't notice anything abnormal. I want to know how long it usually takes to cure facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, for your relative's condition, mild symptoms generally require at least one month to heal on their own. For severe facial paralysis, it is not possible to achieve complete cure, and it is necessary to cooperate with acupuncture or medication to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, the duration of facial paralysis recovery also depends on the patient's own condition. For example, patients who experience ear pain or hypertension before the onset of facial paralysis tend to have a longer recovery time.
