Patient's question:
My sister has had facial paralysis for 7 days, and I've noticed that her condition has worsened compared to the previous days. I want to ask if facial paralysis will improve after 7 days?Doctor's answer:
A person with facial paralysis may be caused by exposure to wind or cold on the face, or it could be due to a viral infection. Under normal circumstances, facial paralysis reaches its peak about 7 days after onset. Therefore, if the cause is not clear, patients with facial paralysis should not use medication independently. It is best to seek medical examination and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. According to the patient's condition and cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Generally, after active treatment by a doctor, the condition can be cured.
