Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they experience tremors. How long does it take for facial paralysis in children to recover?Doctor's answer:
Recurrent facial paralysis in children is often due to their relatively weak immunity. When they go out, the facial nerve is easily exposed to cold wind or affected by viral infections. In such cases, it is not advisable to directly apply acupuncture or other treatments to the child. Instead, it is recommended to take the child to the neurology department of a hospital for examination to assess the extent of facial nerve damage. Timely administration of antiviral and neurotrophic medications can help resolve the issue, and recovery is usually complete within about a month.
