Question
The patient has had facial paralysis for twenty days and has not recovered. The family is very anxious and asks what to do if facial paralysis has not healed after twenty days?
Answer
The patient may have developed facial paralysis due to catching a cold or excessive stress, resulting in facial nerve palsy. It is recommended for the patient to visit a neurology department for a detailed examination and diagnosis. If diagnosed with facial paralysis, the recovery process for this condition may be relatively slow. Treatment options can include traditional Chinese acupuncture and herbal medicine, along with medications to nourish the nerves.
