How long does it take for a facial paralysis to start swelling and pain?

Patient's question:

I currently have a heavy pain in my face and I don't know if it's because of my facial paralysis. I want to know how many days it has been since it started. Hello, how long has the facial paralysis been swollen and painful?

Doctor's answer:

Pay attention to prevent feeling cold when going out, wear a mask and protect your face from the cold. If you have the condition, you can use the following therapeutic methods to enhance recovery. Soak a towel in hot water (do not burn it) 5-6 times a day, each time for 10 minutes. You can also use a hot water bag. Check the towel every 20-30 minutes to prevent burns. You can also use a heat lamp therapeutic device to irradiate for 15 minutes, twice a day. Usually, you can gently massage your face to promote local blood circulation, stabilize muscles and nerves, and enhance comprehensive recovery.
