Question
Auntie has been diagnosed with facial nerve palsy, and her face looks very painful. I would like to inquire about how long the treatment will take?
Answer
After a thorough examination, if facial nerve palsy is diagnosed, it is advisable to actively adopt methods such as acupuncture, physical therapy, and Chinese medicine for internal administration to promote recovery. At the same time, oral nutritional nerve drugs such as vitamin B complex and related medications can be considered for treatment. If there is a viral infection, antiviral drugs can be considered for treatment, which may yield better results. In daily life, it is important to avoid coldness on the head. Generally speaking, most patients can recover within three months.
