Question

My husband has had facial paralysis for over a year now, and the situation is getting worse. I want to ask the doctor if it’s still possible to fully recover from facial paralysis after over a year?

Answer

Based on your description, the symptoms of your husband’s facial paralysis have been present for over a year, and if the condition is worsening, it is advisable to visit a neurology clinic for an additional examination. Usually, detailed electromyography and neurological tests are required to observe for severe denervation potentials. If such conditions are indeed present, complete recovery becomes very difficult.
