Patient's question:
Brother-in-law Chu Chu's older brother went for a walk by the river and caught a cold after being exposed to the wind. He couldn't move his face and was diagnosed with facial paralysis. His older brother hopes to recover quickly and completely. How long does it take for facial paralysis to heal? Can facial paralysis be cured?Doctor's answer:
This condition can be completely cured with timely treatment. The incidence rate in males is lower than in females. The complete recovery from facial paralysis begins 1-2 weeks after the recurrence. Patients with milder symptoms recover more quickly, while those with more severe symptoms take longer to fully recover. Generally, symptoms can stabilize or fully recover within 1-2 months. After the illness, moxibustion treatment should be enhanced. Acupoints such as Yangbai and Jiache on the face should be selected.
