Question
My baby is several months old but doesn’t smile much and has no facial expressions. The doctor said it’s facial paralysis. How long does it take for a baby’s facial paralysis to heal?
Answer
Facial nerve palsy, also known as Bell’s palsy, clock paralysis, and hunter syndrome, is characterized by a dysfunction in the facial expression muscles, a common symptom, and an eye problem. Crossed eyes are a common disease, with a high incidence rate and no age restriction. Patients often cannot perform even the most basic facial expressions such as raising eyebrows, closing eyes, or pouting. Currently, the fastest and most effective treatment method is based on acupuncture and Chinese medicine. Patients may consider visiting a local Chinese acupuncturist for a follow-up appointment.
