How long does it take for facial paralysis to recover?

Patient's question:

I suddenly discovered this week that I have mild facial paralysis. Hello, how long does facial paralysis usually last?

Doctor's answer:

If the facial paralysis is mild, it can gradually and completely recover within two weeks. If it is severe, it may take several months, depending on the individual's condition. A recurrence of facial paralysis can lead to mouth and eye, tearing of the eyes, and possibly abnormal taste sensation in the tongue. It is necessary to go to the hospital for an electromyography to assess the severity, which can then determine the recovery time.
