How long is the recovery period for a face paralysis patch plaster?

Patient's question:

The child has been using the ointment patch for facial paralysis treatment for almost a month, but sometimes it still feels unnatural when smiling, and the mouth still looks slightly droopy. This has already significantly affected the child's normal life. How long does the recovery period for facial paralysis typically last?

Doctor's answer:

Regarding what you mentioned about treating the child with plaster, I personally feel that the effect may not be very good. It is better to combine acupuncture treatment or consume more foods that are nutritious for the nerves. If there are also some problems with taste, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, and more facial muscle training should be done. You can also use hot water compresses regularly. All of these are beneficial for a complete recovery.
