Question

How long should one take hormones for facial paralysis?

Answer

Facial paralysis typically recurs without hormone treatment. The primary treatments involve a combination of many nutritional nerve medications and the implementation of acupuncture and other tonifying therapies. Hormones have relatively minor side effects, but it is advisable not to use them unless under a doctor’s guidance. Hormonal medications should be gradually increased based on specific circumstances. Facial paralysis is also known as facial palsy. After recurrence, comprehensive evaluation and treatment are necessary. The main medication treatments are hormones such as dexamethasone or prednisone, which can be administered intravenously or orally.
