Question
The lady suffered from facial paralysis six months ago, and it’s particularly difficult for her to eat. She is currently undergoing treatment. How long does it take for facial paralysis to heal?
Answer
Based on your description, generally speaking, facial paralysis tends to improve within three months, but some patients may experience residual symptoms. It’s usually not completely curable, so you can seek local traditional Chinese medicine practitioners to treat with acupuncture based on differential diagnosis and treatment. There are very few cases that are incurable. If the condition persists and medication doesn’t show good results, it’s recommended to avoid spicy and irritating foods and maintain a light diet. Additionally, in daily life, patients should balance their nutritional intake, engage in more aerobic exercises to strengthen their bodies, and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their constitution and accelerate recovery.
