Question
One year ago, I experienced facial paralysis. Is there still a chance to recover to normalcy?
Answer
Generally, patients with facial paralysis can recover with proper treatment. However, the time and extent of recovery vary from person to person. Some may regain most of their function within a few weeks, while others may need more time. If your friend still has symptoms of facial paralysis after one year, it is recommended that they consult a neurologist for professional evaluation and treatment advice. Additionally, traditional Chinese medicine may also be helpful.
