Question
How long does facial paralysis take to heal on its own?
Answer
Facial paralysis generally takes about a month to heal on its own, and failing to pay attention to daily life details, such as frequently being exposed to cold wind or air conditioning, may lead to recurrent episodes of facial paralysis. Therefore, being mindful of these details can accelerate the healing process. If there were symptoms of otitis media or accompanying conditions such as hypertension or diabetes before the onset, it may prolong the time for facial paralysis to heal on its own.
