Patient's question:
When I was very young, my mom became paralyzed on one side and never went to the hospital for treatment. Can facial paralysis be cured after twenty or thirty years?Doctor's answer:
A facial paralysis that has lasted for twenty years or more is generally difficult to treat effectively. Because the treatment period for facial paralysis is still better when treated in the early stages. The acute phase usually lasts for about one and a half months. If treatment is not effective after several weeks, the outcome is often poor. If the condition hasn't improved in these few days, it is possible that the symptoms may recur. In fact, the treatment mainly involves neurotrophic therapy.
