Question
My grandfather unexpectedly suffered from facial paralysis. I would like to inquire about the recovery time for severe facial paralysis.
Answer
The recovery time for facial neuritis varies from person to person, depending on the patient’s constitution and the severity of the condition. Generally, facial neuritis is caused by the activation of the dormant herpes zoster virus in the sensory ganglion of the facial nerve, and it may also be related to alcoholism, vitamin deficiencies, and other factors. Traditional Chinese medicine is considered the most effective and safe method for treating facial neuritis. The best strategy to prevent facial paralysis is to maintain good mood, ensure adequate sleep, and engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity.
