Question
My grandmother is currently hospitalized because she has facial paralysis. My cousin asked how long it takes for facial paralysis to heal?
Answer
Facial paralysis can be categorized into central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis. The recovery time may vary due to individual differences and the severity of the condition. In the case of peripheral facial paralysis, which is often related to viral infections, active and regular treatment can usually lead to complete recovery in about half a month, but it may take two to three months or even longer in some cases; central facial paralysis may require a longer period, generally at least half a month, and can usually be relieved through acupuncture and physical therapy.
