Question
I’ve been feeling discomfort in my face recently and have been diagnosed with facial paralysis. I’m wondering how long it will take for oral carbamazepine to improve my condition.
Answer
Based on the patient’s condition, it is recommended to take oral carbamazepine for about a month, after which a follow-up examination at the hospital is necessary. If the treatment is not effective, follow the doctor’s instructions and consider changing to other treatment methods. It is advisable to consume more vitamins, drink plenty of warm water, and maintain a light diet. Avoid spicy, irritating, or greasy foods, and keeping a positive mood also helps in recovery.
