Question
How long can facial paralysis be relieved? I woke up this morning feeling tight and numb. When I washed my face and looked in the mirror, I noticed something wrong with my eyes. When I thought I was going to catch a cold, I didn’t care. When I eat, food always seems to disappear from my mouth. My husband said his mouth was crooked, so I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with facial paralysis. How long can facial paralysis be treated?
Answer
How long can facial paralysis be treated? Facial paralysis refers to the weakness or paralysis of facial muscles, known as facial nerve palsy in modern Chinese medicine. Facial nerve damage is caused by various reasons. The main clinical manifestation is facial movement dysfunction, such as facial paralysis and taste loss. Facial paralysis can be divided into central facial paralysis and peripheral facial paralysis. The main complications of facial paralysis are severe pain in the facial muscles (occurring in small and rapid muscle twitches on the affected side, usually accompanied by increased blinking activity, and in severe cases, it can expand to half of the entire face, including neck muscles). It also includes primary facial nerve palsy (facial nerve palsy, facial neuritis). After treatment, patients with facial spasm generally recover completely within about one month.
