Question
My mom had facial paralysis when I was very young, and she never went to the hospital for treatment. Can facial paralysis be cured after twenty years?
Answer
Facial paralysis that has lasted for twenty years is generally not treatable. The effectiveness of treatment is usually better in the early stages. The acute phase is typically about a month. If it’s past a few weeks, the treatment outcome is generally poor. If treatment isn’t successful within these days, there’s a possibility of recurrence of sequelae. In terms of treatment, it mainly involves nutritional nerve treatment.
