Patient's question:
I am a person with facial paralysis and my mouth is. Everything looks particularly awkward to me. I don't know how to deal with it each time they look at me with strange eyes, making me feel embarrassed. Acupuncture at the hospital hasn't been very effective either. How can facial paralysis be treated to recover quickly?Doctor's answer:
Peripheral facial paralysis affects about 80% of patients who can fully recover within a few weeks or one to two months. Incomplete facial paralysis can recover or heal completely within 1 to 2 months. Complete facial paralysis patients may take 2 to 8 months, or even a year, to fully recover and may leave behind sequelae. Younger patients have a better prognosis. Elderly patients, as well as those with diabetes or hypertension, have a poorer prognosis. Wishing patients a speedy recovery and good health!
