Question
What is the relapse rate of facial paralysis? I had a bout of facial paralysis due to high work stress, and now that I’ve finally recovered, I want to know how high the relapse rate is?
Answer
The relapse rate of facial paralysis is low; it is generally not likely to recur. Even if it does recur, it may be a very long time before it happens again. After a complete recovery from facial paralysis treatment, it is important to continue with proper care. Avoid exposing your face to cold winds directly, wear a mask when outdoors, and protect your chair and face from the cold. If necessary, you can apply cold compresses to the face daily to improve local blood circulation, reduce discomfort, and further enhance recovery.
