How to recover from Bell's palsy?

Patient's question:

A friend has reappeared again, and the facial paralysis has been gone for a long time, but there has been no improvement. How can the facial paralysis nerve be completely restored?

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it may be due to catching a cold from cold wind blowing on the face, or it could be a recurrence of facial paralysis caused by a viral infection. This can lead to mouth and eye drooping, and there may also be facial numbness. If the damage is severe or the treatment is not appropriate, it can be very difficult to recover completely. It is best to have an electromyography to assess the situation. You can take B vitamins and dexamethasone, and acupuncture therapy can also be used for treatment.
