How effective is acupuncture for facial paralysis after a few days?

Patient's question:

When I was a child, I didn't like talking to others; I was very solitary and always came and went alone. I would never laugh, nor would I cause any trouble. I was extremely quiet, which led to facial paralysis when I grew up. I want to cure this facial paralysis and want to laugh. The doctor said that acupuncture for facial paralysis would be effective after a few days?

Doctor's answer:

For patients with facial paralysis, if the condition has been present for a long time, it is generally related to the adjustment of the patient's nervous system. Currently, we do not fully understand the symptoms of the patients. Typical clinical manifestations of facial paralysis patients may include symptoms such as mouth and eye deviation. If the neurology department of the hospital conducts a thorough examination and confirms facial paralysis, it can be treated through traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and other methods. However, the specific recovery time cannot be confirmed.
