Patient's question:
I experienced another episode of facial paralysis around the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, with constant drooling from my mouth. At the time, because of the busy construction projects, I didn't receive timely treatment. It wasn't until December that I started taking medication. Now, my right side of the face is a bit relaxed. Can facial muscle weakness from Bell's palsy be completely restored?Doctor's answer:
Your condition should be completely recoverable. You have mild facial paralysis, and the time that has passed since the paralysis is not long. It is recommended that you now actively cooperate with a combination of Chinese and Western treatments, as well as various methods such as physical therapy. It should be possible to recover completely, though the time it takes may be longer. Facial paralysis involves facial nerve damage, so it is important to pay attention to avoiding cold exposure and alcohol consumption. Additionally, actively cooperate with many facial muscle function training exercises.
