Question
After ten days of pediatric facial paralysis treatment, the effects are still not ideal. Should I go to the hospital for treatment and massage? How long does it take for the treatment to be effective?
Answer
Facial paralysis is a condition related to neuritis, which may be associated with nerve compression, infection, or catching a cold. Treatment should be initiated as early as possible and may include medications to promote blood circulation, nourish nerves, and improve circulation. During the acute phase, a combination of corticosteroids may be used along with treatments such as acupuncture and physical therapy for comprehensive management to maximize improvement in the condition. The duration of treatment varies depending on individual differences, and it is recommended to consult a professional doctor for a more accurate recovery time.
