Question
My relative is 41 years old and has recently experienced a recurrence of facial paralysis. I would like to ask, how long does it take for antiviral treatment for facial paralysis?
Answer
Facial nerve palsy, also known as facial neuritis, is a common condition characterized by a dysfunction in facial expression muscle movement. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that facial paralysis is caused by invasion of wind and cold leading to Qi and blood stasis. Patients with facial paralysis should pay attention to the intake of calcium and vitamin B complex, as these nutrients are not only beneficial for the skeletal and nervous systems but also promote the recovery of muscle and nerve function. Facial paralysis is caused by facial neuritis. Typically, three-stage recovery treatment for facial neuritis can stabilize the capillary microcirculation at the inflamed site, fundamentally repair damaged facial nerve cells, and restore facial muscle function. It is recommended to consult a regular hospital for treatment in a timely manner.
