Patient's question:
I came down this morning feeling tight and numb. When I was washing my face and looking in the mirror, I noticed that my eyes had a problem. When I thought I was getting a cold, I didn't care. When I was eating, the food in my mouth always disappeared. My husband said his mouth was crooked, and I went to the pet hospital and said it was facial paralysis. Hello, how long does facial paralysis take to heal?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis refers to the collapse of finger and facial muscles. Modern traditional Chinese medicine also refers to it as facial nerve palsy. Facial nerve damage is caused by various reasons. The main clinical manifestations include facial motor dysfunction, such as facial paralysis and loss of taste. Facial paralysis can be divided into central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis. The main sequelae of facial paralysis are severe muscle pain in the facial muscles (recurring small and rapid muscle spasms on the affected side, usually accompanied by increased blinking activity. In severe cases, it can extend to half of the entire face, including the platysma muscle). As well as primary facial nerve palsy (facial nerve palsy, facial neuritis). After treatment, patients with facial muscle spasms generally recover completely within about a month.
