How long does it take for Bell's palsy to recover?

Patient's question:

My dad came back from school last week and said he got facial paralysis. He's now doing tutoring at home. I want to know how long it will take for the facial paralysis to fully recover?

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
I am very pleased to assist you. Based on the issue you mentioned, the complete recovery time from facial paralysis varies from person to person, and the course of the disease is relatively long. Even in the fastest cases, it may take about a month. You can take neurotrophic drugs such as methylcobalamin and vitamin B12, combined with heat therapy, massage, mugwort steam therapy, and acupuncture for treatment. Pay attention to avoiding cold exposure, do not get cold, and avoid drafts. When going outside, wear a mask and a scarf. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Strictly prohibit alcohol consumption. Your diet should be warm and easily digestible. Wishing you good health!
