Patient's question:
Yesterday, I went in and came back, only to find that my mouth was a bit crooked. After a careful examination, it was confirmed to be facial paralysis. They prescribed many medications for me, including some that contain hormones. So, I'd like to ask how many days it takes for facial paralysis to heal on its own with hormone intake?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis often recurs without hormone treatment. The main treatment involves the combined use of many neurotrophic drugs and therapies such as acupuncture for comprehensive care. The side effects of hormones are relatively mild under normal circumstances. It is recommended not to use them, but they should only be used under the guidance of a doctor. Hormonal drugs need to be gradually increased based on specific conditions. Facial paralysis, also known as facial paralysis, requires a comprehensive evaluation and treatment after recurrence. The primary medication is dexamethasone or prednisone, which can be administered intravenously or orally.
