Patient's question:
Grandma has had facial paralysis for almost more than half a month. After the facial paralysis, she cannot speak, her face lacks expression, and her mouth is still twisted. She has been receiving treatment, but the effect is not very good. How long will it take for it to develop into a sequela?Doctor's answer:
If Bell's palsy cannot receive timely treatment, many sequelae may recur. Most patients can gradually recover through treatment within three months. However, if the duration of the illness is less than three months and the recovery effect is not good, sequelae may gradually develop. Therefore, treatment in the first three months is very crucial, and acupuncture and massage can help alleviate symptoms for the patient.
